Yeah, that's massively frustrating. It seems that (not unlike GRRM) he has earned so much from the initial books, and so enjoys the convention/fandom life, that the incentive to knuckle down and birth that final book maybe isn't really there. It must also be a terrifying creative enterprise to look to complete a series which has exploded in popularity and has a massive (and massively passionate) fandom with very strong opinions on the characters and where the story needs to go. Undoubtedly harder still when you make a point of engaging with that fandom at every opportunity....

Cheers, I'll add that to the list.
Although I very much enjoyed the Name of the Wind I'm not sure if I'd have bothered with that and the sequel if I'd known that it's 12 years and counting on the publication of the third book.
