Time travel recommendations

[ArriettyMatilda]

I've recently read Time and Time Again by Ben Elton and liked the concept of trying to change the course of the future. I also enjoyed the Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and Marcher by Chris Beckett. I did enjoy some of the Dr Who books but I'm less interested in reading about aliens. Does anyone have any recommendations for fiction books about time travel?

[SalemSaberhagen]

piebald I agree, 'Kindred' is an astonishing book. I've read it many times.

Another vote for 11.22.63 by Stephen King - awesome book!! Feel sad people see him as a horror author only & so don't read his books. His non-horrors, like this one, are spectacular

[FlysInDreams]

Pemba oops!

If you are also reading historical fiction, try 'The Lady of Hay' by Barbara Erskine - it's sort of time travel/past life type stuff but very well written.

Charlotte Sometimes is Penelope Farmer actually. Great book!

[FlysInDreams]

House on the Strand - Daphne du Maurier
Charlotte Sometimes - Penelope Lively, I think, though that's a children's book

[TaraCarter]

I suddenly remembered this children's book about time travel: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessamy.

Another vote for Outlander

Martian Time-Slip by Philip K Dick is brilliant and wonderfully brainhurty.

Some of the books mentioned on this thread have nothing to do with time travel

[NamelessEnsign]

Not quite time travel but Ferney and The Lives She Left Behind by James Long are about linked souls being reincarnated (not in a religious sense) throughout the centuries in England. They're quite compelling reads.

Nothing compares to Life After Life and A God in Ruins for me though. I'm rereading the former having just finished the latter and I bloody love them.

A Knight in Shining Armour - Jude Deveraux

[Butterflycakes2016]

I have just finished The Accidental Time Traveller. I really liked it. I came to have a look back at this thread, to find something similar for my next read.

Harry Harrison's The Technicolour Time Machine is a very funny story of a film director who uses a time machine to go back in time to make a historical film and ends up making history...

Also two by Barrington J Bayley, Colloson with Chronos (aka Collision Course) and The Fall of Chronopolis

Several of John Wyndham's short stories have a time element, such as Random Quest, Chronoclasm, Pawley's Peepholes, Odd and Stitch in time. In the collections Consider her Ways & Seeds of Time

Yes - Tom's Midnight Garden is indeed the one I meant! Lovely book.

Is Outlander biok as bad as the series. The last two episodes were horrible.

[SoupDragon]

I've just discovered one on my Kindle : The River of No Return by Bee Ridgway.

[moonlight1705]

I just came on here to suggest both Outlander and Jodi Taylor for this topic.

Also, if you used to like science fiction but wanted a slightly different world, have you ever tried Trudy Canavan's Black Magician series.....I love her writing!

[SoupDragon]

I have added some to my wish list and onto my kindle for my holiday :)

I love these threads!

The Doorkeepers, by Graham Masterton.
Timeline, by Michael Crichton.
Off now to do an Amazon order following some of the suggestions from this thread.

[TaraCarter]

RemusLupin if you don't object to children's books, Charlotte Sometimes and Goodnight Mr Tom are both lovely.

I think you might mean Tom's Midnight Garden, but I can see how that mistake happened.

[TenarGriffiths]

Up the Line by Robert Silverberg is about a man who gets a job leading tourist groups on trips to the past.

Behold the Man by Michael Moorcock is about a man who travels back in time to see Jesus' crucifixion.

The Rose Garden by Susannah Kearsley is set in Cornwall and is a romantic story about a woman who slips between the present day and smuggling times.

Place marking! Love time travel stuff.

[Butterflycakes2016]

I have not read it yet, but I do intend to read The Accidental Time Traveller by Sharon Griffiths.

[BestIsWest]

The Bone Clocks? There is a sort of time travel or rather immortality in that.
