I've read "11/22/63" by Stephen King and absolutely loved the moments focused on mundane things. The JFK assassination plot was cool but I much preferred reading about the MC living in the 60s and interacting with people.
Another book I am very fond of with similar premise is "Mr Was" by Pete Hautman. There the protagonist from 90s, travels in time just before WW2.
There he finds friendships and love he was lacking in the present.
I've tried "Time traveller's wife" but it didn't hook me like those two. I'd appreciate male MC recommendation because I like to identify with a character. Hope for some good recs.
