:smack: How could I have forgotten?
And smeghead, I too await the conclusion of WOT. I no longer worry so much about living to see it, I worry more that the author won’t live to see it.
Thanks for chiming in, all!
Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon.
Whatever Terry Pratchett is currently working on.
Say, I seem to recall someone telling me that Clive Barker’s finally decided to finish what he started with The Great & Secret Show and Everville. So I’m certainly waiting on the Third Book of the Art as well, if that’s true.

What other books are on my list?
Didn’t want you to get a headache! 
I eagerly await “I am a Strange Loop” by Douglas Hofstadter. Description of the book from Amazon.com: “Douglas R. Hofstadter’s long-awaited return to the themes of Gšdel, Escher, Bach–an original and controversial view of the nature of consciousness and identity.”
I purchased this book back in March 2006, since it was listed as being published in July of 2006. Now it’s listed as being published March 2007. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was delayed yet again.
I’d like Orson Scott Card to finish the Alvin Maker series. I read the first two and then realized how slow the rest of it was going and decided to wait until it was complete to get back on board.
Now that I have Victorian Lace Today in my sweaty little hand, I’m waiting on Lace Style, from the same folks who brought us Scarf Style and Wrap Style. 
I’m a lace-knitting ho.

A Method For Madness by David Gerrold, #5 in the “War against the Cthorr” series. Long anticipated. Might occur one day.

Looks like we may be in luck soon…

Not so sure about that. I visited that website while composing this OP, and I couldn’t find any updates later than 2003 on it.
Winterfair Gifts, by Lois McMaster Bujold. Miles and Ekaterin’s wedding. Sgt. Taura as a detective. It hurts not to be able to read it.
Variable Star, by Robert A. Heinlein and Spider Robinson.
Volumes 4 and 5 in John Barnes’ Thousand Cultures series (A Million Open Doors, Earth Made of Glass, and The Traders of Souls)
The promised Heinlein biography
And “Mike and Annie Go to Thrillworld” (obviously not Spider’s title for it) – with the caveat Brain Glutton gave that Spider needs to be coerced into writing it.
I also have the forlorn hope that someday someone will come across good unpublished manuscripts by Edgar Pangborn and by H. Beam Piper.

What, you didn’t like Fuzzies and other people?
The next Aubery/Maturin sea story from Patrick O’Brien though it could be a bit of a long wait as he seems to be very slow in grasping the fact that you CAN continue bringing out a novel every couple of years when you’re dead.(ref. a previous posting)
Hopefully he’ll read this and take the hint.

Winterfair Gifts is available at Fictionwise…
The last two promised omnibuses of John Morressy’s Kedrigern series. Meisha Merlin is now 2+ years behind releasing volume three and a volume four was mentioned more than a year ago in an issue of F&SF.
I managed to find the last two novels that were originally printed in English (several others have been published, but only in the Czech Republic) at a used book store. However, it’s a lot harder to find old back issues of F&SF, even with the internet.
I wish that Diana Gabaldon would finish her “Outlander” series soon. Once upon a time, I really, really cared about Jamie and Claire. Now I just want to see how it ends.

Um, poly?
Curse of the Swamp Monster., sequel to Bride of the Rat God, by Barbra Hambly.
Bride was a weird adventure/dark fantasy set in Hollywood’s Silent Film age (Eve would like it, I reckon).
Curse is supposedly to be set in the 50’s, at the end of the B&W film age.
Personally, I’m waiting for the next Honorverse book from David Weber, especially given the fallout that has to have happened in the wake of the bloodbath at the end of At All Costs. The next book is supposed to be a sequel to Crown of Slaves, with Victor Cachat and Anton Zilwicki off causing trouble for Mesa.
Also, I’m anxiously awaiting the sequel to Elizabeth Moon’s Engaging the Enemy.
