Dune [trilogy], by Herbert.  The later stories are ok, but the  
meat of the adventure is in the 1st three.

Brave New World, by Huxley.

Ringworld, by Niven.

First Law Trilogy, by Joe Abercrombie

Kingkiller Chronicles (two books), by Patrick Rothfuss.  The events in each book spans one day.

The Gentleman Bastard series, by Scott Lynch.  1 = The Lies of  
Locke Lamora,  2 = Red Seas Under Red Skies, 3 = The Republic  
of Thieves
