    Time travel is my favorite sub-genre of sci-fi.

    Just one ticket, please, to fix a few major mistakes and see my wife again.

      When people mention liking time travel, I pretty much always mention the book Replay, by Ken Grimwood. For some reason, few people have heard of it, but everyone I’ve recommended it to has really liked it. The main character, a middle aged man, dies in the first paragraph and wakes up back in his college dorm in his 20s. It gets a lot more interesting from there.

      For some people, I recommend The Man Who Folded Himself, by David Gerold. It might actually be the better book but it’s… odd. It includes the main character having a relationship with himself. But really well written and thought provoking.

        Wow — The Man Who Folded Himself is marvelous, but you’re the first person to ever mention it to me before I mentioned it to you. One of my favorites, from way back.

        Replay is also very good.

        Some years back I went on a time travel jag, reading every t-t book I could get from the library. The one that blew me away the best, which I’ve now re-read a dozen times, is a kids’ book, When You Reach Me, by Rebecca Stead.

          I don’t think I’ve read that, might have to give it a whirl.
