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.

    I much enjoyed this book when McGrew posted a rather sad message with a link to the book on his website.

    He related how he had submitted it to Analog, and the editor had rejected it with suggestions for changes.
    He decided that it was rejected and to get it into public view he posted it on his website.

    The message was sad because he did not know that Analog, like most other professional magazines, doesn't make individual suggestions like that without wanting the story to be resubmitted after those changes are made.

    I don't think McGrew will make that mistake again. And please, you other authors who might be reading this, don't make it either. If an editor wants revisions, make them and resubmit.
