Elsewhere
A somewhat pissed-off fifteen-almost-sixteen-year-old Liz wakes up on a very odd cruised ship with no memory of how she got there. A charming, funny, and sometimes sad story of an afterlife. Big weeps, for me, near the end.
Words I Had To Look Up:
Palimpsest (pg. 242)-- Writing material used one or more times after earlier writing has been erased. The text refers to the remains of a wine bottle label. From a Greek/Latin words meaning scraped again, so maybe the author means a more literal sense.

MythBusters
Subtitle: The Explosive Truth Behind 30 of the Most Perplexing Urban Legends of All. Very interesting, but hard to read. Small type, odd sentence construction, some conflicting information. Worth the read.
