As my answers remain the same. The only change is that I'm actually making rather good progress (for me) through Claw of the Concilator, so there's a chance I will actually finish two or three books this month.
Finishing up:
Shadow and Claw: The First Half of The Book of the New Sun, by Gene Wolfe (I read the Shadow of the Torturer so far and am starting Claw of the Conciliator. It's really good so far, even if at times slightly confusing)
To read:
Sword and Citadel: The Second Half of The Book of the New Sun, by Gene Wolfe
The Affirmation, by Christopher Priest
The City and the City, by China Mieville
One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
And that's probably already more than enough to cover me for January, so I'll stop there. Basically, after finishing the book of the new sun, the other three books I might read in any order. Speaking of the New Sun, as much as I like it and as good as it is, I'm finding I'm reading it very slowly. Not really sure why, but I get this way with books sometimes, and it really bogs down my number of read books.
Also, I'm too lazy to count, but I believe I read a bit over 30 books over the past year. Terrible compared to other people here, but not too bad overall, I'd say.

It depends on what mood hits me when I finish this book I am reading now.

Probably either Magician or Le Comte - both is looking unlikely atm.

Re: You know, I tend to assume I will hit at least fifty without trying.
