Fair enough, you're right he did originally tweet "Start on Monday, done by Sunday". But to be fair, in the very same tweet he wrote "I'll keep adjusting the list".
Besides all that, any good reads queued up for Jan?
1. Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb (which I'm about 15% of the way through)
2. The World We Make by N.K. Jemisin
3. The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka (last year's Booker prize winner)
4. The Trees by Percival Everett (a Booker prize shortlistee)
And then I'll try to finish up the Earthsea cycle (I have Tales and The Other Wind left). After that, I'm not sure, and who knows how far beyond January that will take.
Oh I freaking LOVED the farseer trilogy. It gets better and better until a big wow. I did a lot of the booker+booker internationals in previous years but found them too hit and miss (mostly miss) for my tastes and decidedly switched to classics. Curious how they end up for you, I havent read this. I'm a big fan of Le Guin though, have you read her masterpiece short story "The ones who walk away from Omelas'"?
