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.

    Naked Lunch by William Burroughs

    I have not yet had the intestinal fortitude to actually read it.

    After killing his own wife while drunkenly clowning around with his gun, Burroughs fled to Tunisia, where he got hooked on heroin, eventually to hallucinate giant bugs on his typewriter that jizz voluminously as he writes his novels.
