Hi Elan, Thanks for the reply, throwing the question back at me, that's awful! Share the pain of picking favourite novels. I like your choices though The time travelers wife didn't click with me at the time of reading, I should revisit it. Obvious one to start, The time Machine by Wells and the fantastic sequel by Stephen Baxter The Time Ships. ( his sequel of War of the Worlds was pretty poor, maybe I was expecting too much) The first 15 lives of Harry August by Claire North is very enjoyable, The time travellers Almanac edited By Vandermeer, huge collection of short stories, The dancers at the end of time and Behold the man by Moorcock, All you need is Kill by Sakurusaka (Authors name may be miss-spelled) Peace and War Joe Haldeman (omnibus edition, more time displacement) The beautiful land Alan Averil (zippy not quite time travel) . Time travel a history by James Gleick was an interesting analysis of the genre. By no means definitive or even all my favourites but the first to pop into my head, hopefully one of two will grab your interest. I can do a proper trawl through my shelves if you'd like more just let me know. Best Regards Paul Oh! most of Christopher Priests works deal with issues of time and place, The Gradual and The Adjacent most recently.
