The second book has a release date now (March 1st, 2011) but I agree that the wait was excruciatingly painful. I'm just finishing up my fourth read of Name of the Wind because I want it to be reasonably fresh in my mind. I'll probably read it again sometime between now and March though.

Scott Lynch is worse, since the third book doesn't have a release date yet and I haven't heard anything other than Lynch bitching about Blizzard's RealID thing for their games.
