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

A poll for the January 2019 book will be around the 15th, unless you want it sooner (not sooner than the U.S. midterms).

Discuss Foundation by Isaac Asimov in the comments below.

As for Liu Cixin's best known novel:

"Wildly imaginative, really interesting." ―President Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy

The English translation for The Three-Body Problem was published in 2014 by Ken Liu under Tor Books.

Consider using <spoiler>text</spoiler> wherever you feel the need to do so.

    I think thats just Asimov. I have always liked him but he is very much a professor and you get that from reading. If you are interested in Asimov's style I would suggest what I consider to be one of his best works.

    The last question by Asimov (as read by Nimoy), 36 min long

    You think Liu Cixin is Asimov?

      You haven't read that far in the book yet - that's the twist

      I did not read the title of the original post, that said my comment statement still stands about Asimov although it now makes sense why OP was talking about Chinese education.
