This comment has put Red Dwarf to the top of my reading list. I was an avid fan of the tv show and never thought to read the books.

I think we all see a bit of Rimmer in ourselves when it comes to preparing for for an exam.

Glad you enjoyed it and that it inspired you to read the book! This passage had been banging around in my head since I read it 10-15 years ago. Probably because it was also me. :)

Me three! There should be some book/movie/series where the hero is some average Joe, does nothing heroic, no twists and turns, no rising from the ashes stuff, but lives his life happily.

You may enjoy various pieces of media labelled "slice of life", although this genre is often misapplied.
