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.

I thoroughly enjoyed both books. 3 Body Problem is an interesting view into Chinese SCI-FI aesthetic - and eyes of people working in Communist-party science projects..
If any of you would like an audiobook experience that really is different from the norm, the BBC radio-play production of the Foundation series, with all the electronic (pre-synth.. proto-synth?) effects from the BBC stereophonic workshop, beautiful RP british accents, the likes of which are an endangered species now..
