Buddy is on page 162 of 272 of The Gluten Lie: And Other Myths About What You Eat

"The mythic narrative of “unnatural” modernity and a “natural” paradise past is persuasive as ever. Religious figures like Adam and Eve are no longer plausible protagonists, so diet gurus replace them with Paleolithic, preagricultural, hard- bodied ancestors who raced playfully through the forest gathering berries and spearing wild boar, never once worrying about diabetes or autism."

Buddy is 17% done with The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined

"People may also use allegations of witchcraft to recoup some of the losses from a misfortune by holding another party liable— a bit like American accident victims who trip on a crack or spill hot coffee on themselves and sue everyone in sight." The topic is interesting, and the evidence is compelling, but Steven Pinker is a smug dick.

Buddy is on page 88 of 399 of Gone Girl

This is as far as I'm going to get in this book. I want to like it, but I don't. It's almost universally praised, so I looked up negative reviews to see if I was just missing something, and found this: http://www.bookforum.com/inprint/2003/
