Time travel recommendations

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?

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

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

Charlotte Sometimes is Penelope Farmer actually. Great book!

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.

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

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