The thing is, I like scenery probably as much as the next man, but a good 60% of the time was spent speeding through pitch darkness - apart from the lights of readers like me inside the vehicle!

Some people are afraid of what they'll see when they close their eyes. I ain't much good at it myself, but I prefer companions who can quietly stare into darkness. I think it coincides, rather than conflicts, with reading.
