If I recall, the entire Belgariad could be condensed down to one book without the camping and cooking scenes.
Some books I love (recently):
Anything Gaiman (I love how he makes magical realism come alive),
Expanse series (truly alien aliens),
Culture series,
Revelation Space series,
Dresden series,
Kingkiller Chronicles,
Hard Luck Hank series (simple wacky sci-fi fun),
John Dies at the End series (particularly book 1),
The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet,
Cosmic Banditos,
Solaris,
Schismatrix Plus, and
The Magicians series (I have not watched the TV show so do not know how and if they compare).
There is so much good fiction out there that it's hard to choose.
