I just got through reading "The Da Vinci da Vinci Surgery A surgical robot for performing certain surgeries–eg, mitral valve repair and laparoscopic procedures–eg, cholecystectomy and gastric ulcer repair. See Laparoscopic surgery, Robotics, Surgical robot.  Code." The non-fiction that I'm trying to read and haven't gotten to yet is called "he Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable."

I was eager to read Hillary Rodham Clinton's book, "Living History." I bought it the first day it was out. I am sure she found it both joyful and painful to write. I thought it was informative, very interesting -- and political.

"Seabiscuit" and "Bush at War." They're both very good and well written. It's not fiction. "Seabiscuit" is a very emotional story and "Bush at War" gives a lot of insight into what happens.

I'm reading "Seabiscuit" and "Harry Potter" and Katharine Hepburn's biography, all fascinating books. I've been a big "Harry Potter" fan since the beginning, and I've done "Harry Potter" tours to England.

Mrs. Fields and her husband started their business in the late 1970s, opening the first of many retail bakeries in Palo Alto, California, selling  cookies, but I am reading a variety of things, one dealing with airport expansion, a three-day workweek report for the Police Department and a number of reports and audits from the controller's office. The other stack is newspaper articles I haven't gotten to yet. The book that I reread Verb 1. reread - read anew; read again; "He re-read her letters to him"
read - interpret something that is written or printed; "read the advertisement"; "Have you read Salman Rushdie?"

I read Michael Connelly's "Lost Light." I'm a great fan of his. I love his series and his detective character, Hieronymus Bosch. Some scenes in the book actually take place in the Central Library here, but he told me he used poetic license to describe it.

The next-to-last Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." I haven't gotten the last one yet. I really enjoy it.
