October: Foundation by Isaac Asimov
November: The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin.
December: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

October's book is Foundation by Isaac Asimov, meaning the collection of 5 short stories first published in 1951. It is the first published entry in the Foundation series.

Please discuss last month's book, Mars, Ho! below if you haven't done so already. You can also suggest books for January 2019. I can include titles that were already suggested, such as in the comments on the poll. We may be able to increase the maximum number of poll options to accommodate more books.

    Rough start, the book club not the book itself.

    I read the article from sept 2 about the club booting up, read Mars Ho and enjoyed it, review later, I guess, and I waited all month for "the mars ho article" to appear in my feed. OhShit.jpg I was supposed to discuss in the Sept 2 article, not wait for another article.

    Of course now there is another problem

    I think interest in the club might be higher than observed due to this frankly minor confusion. Stuff happens oh well.

    OK strange formatting and not enough caffeine but the general point should be clear.

    Everything is subject to change.

    As for the discussions being archived too fast, I have brought it up to TMB. We ought to be able to make it so that certain nexuses have longer open discussions. For example, 2 months for Community Reviews instead of 2 weeks or whatever it is now.
