Suggest Good Time Travel Novels

Oh gosh, the girl who leapt through time, that was nice! Have you seen the animation movie too?

I feel ashamed I don't know any other of the books you mentioned ...and my e-books/audiobooks pile keeps growing and growing, darn.
So yeah, that's going to be my signature.
+1 for Outlander and Doomsday book.

Just finished 'The Shadow out of Time' - By H.P Lovecraft (Love me some Lovecraft creepiness) Will have to check out the ones you've suggested though.
"The End of Eternity" by Isaac Asimov. It is a little dated, but still a good read.
No Memes allowed!
I'll chip in "The Shining Girls" by Lauren Beukes.

It's kinda got a bit of dodgy science, but i always kinda like Sphere By Michael Crichton. It isn't a typical time travel book, but I like it. I haven't read his more commonly referenced 'Timeline' novel.


I have seen the movie, but never read the book. The movie's not bad.
Sphere is a fun book. I don't think MC wrote bad books. I even liked his non-science fiction stuff.

'A Wrinkle In Time' pops into my head. I read it quite awhile ago but remember enjoying it.
also, destroyermen - kind of.
Just found a potential candidate - Hawk among the sparrows. Reading it now.

Damnit! Just finished the online preview and there is no online version of the full book available!!

Technically, there's quite a bit of time travel in the Hitch-hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but that might not be the sort of stuff you're looking for.

Also, you might want to have a go at Making History (by Stephen Fry). It's more politic-fiction than science-fiction, but time travel is central to the plot.

Also, in case you haven't seen it, the film Primer has a nice and consistent take on time travel, which is rare. But it might give you a headache.

I read fantasy novels as opposed to time-travel ones but some that spring to mind that have time travel elements are Julian May's Saga of a Pliocene Exile; Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant Chronicles and maybe even Katherine Kerr's Deverry series (lot of jumping around time-wise but more I think re-incarnation than time travel!)

Maybe not your cup of tea but just thought I'd mention them ^_^

added: Also Simon Hawke's Time Wars books although these may be hard to find now.
If you make something idiot-proof, the universe creates a better idiot.
