5.5 Forest or Forrest

Forrest is a traditional masculine given name and surname of English and French origin, meaning "dweller near the woods" or "forest".
Read a book by a single author whose name includes Forrest OR a book with the title word forest. Word must be stand alone, plurals and possessives are acceptable.

Trish (trishhartuk) | 4059 comments Pity the related job-name "Forester" isn't included. It's much more common in the UK than "Forrest".

Ellen Marcolongo | 14 comments So there can be more than just forest in the title? I'm thinking of reading The Chimp and the River How AIDS Emerged from an African Forest by David Quammen by David Quammen. Would this be OK for the prompt?

Yes, as long as "Forest" is in the title it works.
