    Y'all I'm on a hardcore time travel (& adjacent) kick. I've found some great reads searching this sub but am looking for more!

    Two of my favorite books of all time are King's 11/23/63 and The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch. I love the former because it allows me to experience history from the perspective of someone who would react to a lot of things with the same fascination or incredulity that I might. I love the latter because it's a tangled mess of memory, experience, paradox, potentiality, and fun sci-fi tech.

    Examples of others I have enjoyed:

    • The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard (can't stop thinking about this one!!)

    • Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor (will be reading more of this series)

    • Island in the Sea of Time (etc) by SM Stirling (though this author is clearly weird about women…but I love the "speculative fiction" nature of people going into the past to change the course of history)

    • Timeline by Michael Crichton

    • The Peripheral by William Gibson

    • Dark Tower series (for the parallel world stuff)

    • Kindred by Octavia Butler

    • (tv examples) The Devil's Hour, Westworld

    Examples that I could not get into:

    • Time and Again by Jack Finney

    • Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister

    • Connie Willis (I enjoyed Blackout but her books left me feeling like I was reading the same thing over and over with details changed)

    Bonus points if available in a (good) audiobook, but not required.

    Thanks in advance!! 🦖
