I really should have read it by now, seeing as how Tolkien is one of my favorite authors of all time! Lol. I will try to take care of that as soon as I can!<br /><br />Thanks for the visit and the comment!! :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487611241541459968.post-66858534191805943722016-08-17T14:56:24.918-04:002016-08-17T14:56:24.918-04:00Hey, Brian!

It's been sitting patiently on my shelves....<br /><br />The plot sounds VERY dynamic, as well as intellectually fascinating! That's because Doran explores various 20th-century philosophies in this novel. <br /><br />You mention that this is a fantastic cover, and that I should feature it on "Shelf Candy Saturday", at my other blog, A NIGHT'S DREAM OF BOOKS. Actually, I already have! It was back in 2013, and, as it turns out, it was EXACTLY three years ago today! How about that?<br /><br />Here's the link to that post:<br /><br />http://anightsdreamofbooks.blogspot.com/2013/08/shelf-candy-saturday-81-toward-gleam-by.html<br /><br />As a matter of fact, I first discovered this book when I saw the cover somewhere. I don't remember exactly where, though. And now I've featured it on "Shelf Control"! I guess my subconscious mind must have been prodding me about finally reading this book. Lol.<br /><br />Thanks for the great comment!! :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487611241541459968.post-86880418545044148562016-08-17T12:03:56.326-04:002016-08-17T12:03:56.326-04:00Good morning, Maria.

It will be interesting to find out if it holds to be true as you read it too.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487611241541459968.post-43516691034863334992016-08-17T02:35:25.218-04:002016-08-17T02:35:25.218-04:00This sounds so good.

It also sounds like there are many other elements also. It also sounds like there are some interesting ideas that are explored.<br /><br />I agree that the cover is fantastic and I think that it would make a good choice for Shelf Candy Saturday.<br /><br />I am looking forward to reading your thoughts when you have completed this book. <br /><br />Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
