right now I'm reading the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, by Stephen R. Donaldson.
I have six books in the set, and am on volume 5... but I read online that he's started a NEW set of four, in that universe.
it's an amazingly deep story of a man with Hansen's Disease (leprosy) who gets "translated" to another world, and has to deal with his anger at his illness (leper - outcast - unclean) and manage to overcome his disability, and still save the world.
I was fascinated to see the author has the character Thomas (in an interior monologue) mention Multiple Sclerosis, in the context of the unfairness and alienation of having a serious, and poorly understood illness.
here's the names of the books:
First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever
Lord Foul's Bane
The Illearth War
The Power That Preserves
Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever
The Wounded Land
The One Tree
White Gold Wielder
and the new set, not all published yet):
Third Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever
The Runes of the Earth (2005)
Fatal Revenant (?)
Shall Pass Utterly (?)
The Last Dark (?)
so now, I'll have to find somebody in the US to send me the new ones in the series!
