Oh yes, DANSE MACABRE! A sort of autobiography-in-reading-matter, as I recall - the things which influenced him and so forth. Not bad company, though I seem to remember some really creepy stuff (like a kid who poked out his brother's eyes when emulating Mo from the "Three Stooges"?) so I'm glad no-one disturbed you whilst reading!
Does this mean you're confined to driving during daylight hours?
