The paperback copy of Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers must have fallen through a time hole or something.

I read them as a teenager and enjoyed them. They are much darker than the TV show, and really flesh out some of the deeper implications of things that are one-episode jokes in the show. For instance, I read the books before I'd caught up with the show, and I actually found the show's depiction of the Better Than Life game to be a bit disappointing after reading the book version. Of course, you can't expect a 30 minute episode to cover as much ground as a >200 page book so this isn't really a critique of the show - but you can imagine how much more the book is able to cover. You also get stuff like more backstory on the GELFs.
