Then you will love "Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge".

I like this series.

Lord Foul's Bane (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, Book
1)

12 books in all or at least 9. Not Sci-fi but fantasy. I have a hard
time distinguishing the two labels.

"Tell them at Riverstone that there is no help for the land."

For the most part it goes like this:

Science Fiction tends to deal in the future. Fantasy tends to deal in the
past.
Science Fiction tends to have the hero solving a technical or social
problem. Fantasy tends to have the hero on a quest of some kind.

I do not read that many books in the fantasy arena. "American Gods by Neil
Gaiman" and last book I read from fantasy was book one of three, (2&3) not
out yet, was "The Left Hand of God by Paul Hoffman". I tend to avoid
authors that have a series of them if know before hand. So I will wait for
Mr Hoffman to release the last two novels, however, Hoffman's writing do
flow well, it was a good read".

I know I've read at least one of them, but I'm darned if I can remember
anythign about them/it. Were they vaguely Medieval?
