Time Travel Books - The Best and All The Rest

Recommended Posts

Marcel's Proust Remembrances of Things Past is the greatest time travel book(s) of all time.  Won't be topped.

Philip K. Dick's The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is excellent.

Toni Morrison's Beloved is a time travel novel in its own way

Wiliiam Gibson's new novel The Peripheral is the best sci-fi time travel novel I've read.

Philip K. Dick's Ubik has characters going through a very different type of time travel.

 

Top Ten Time Travel Movies:

 

1. Primer

2. The Terminator

3. Back to the Future

4. Looper

5. Memento

6. Twelve Monkeys

7. The Time Machine (original)

8. Terminator 2

9. Time Lapse

10. End of Tomorrow

Twelve Monkeys is largely based on a very curious French film called La Jetée, which is almost entirely composed of still photographs, and which contains the basic time travel plot for TM. TM is excellent, don't get me wrong, and properly references LJ in its opening credits, but I think LJ should jointly appear on the list with TM.

 

What about video games? Zelda; Ocarina of Time is an obvious example, as is the more recent Life is Strange - others?
