I'm working out a timetable for the promised Forest readthrough, but in the meantime, I think some trennels readers might enjoy this, which was one of my splendid gifts in the recent Renault Exchange.  You probably do need a working knowledge of The Charioteer to get the most out of it, but it's a superb take on some perennial Forestian topics of interest: social class, religion, the Navy.
