I noticed that I forgot to mention Peter Hamilton's books, which is shame because I really liked reading those.
The Commonwealth Saga: Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained.
In kinda the same universe are the first tweo books the Void Trilogy: The Dreaming Void and The Temporal Void.
The story unfolds in distant future where all people sync their mind and can be relifed and the old age can be reversed, which makes them immortal. The term for murder is bodyloss and is still investigated rigorously, which is what special investigator Paula Mayo does. Her investigation starts quite simple then grows and grows; it is quite interesting to read.
The Void trilogy is set even more in the future and show the tribulations of the Dreamers; people that can connect with the Void in the middle of the galaxy. They see the life of humans that managed to reach the Void long time ago and a whole new religion was spawned out of it.

The Kingkiller Chronicle
Finished read Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear; I liked it a lot. The story is disjoint, unpredictable and messy; same is life. It also creates a world that is original and believable; magic as science is great plot device.
