Kylyssa's Top Ten Time Travel Novels
BESTS 
Tags: time travel, time machine, alternate history, fiction, science fiction, spacetime
Time Travel Science Fiction is a genre which deals with the
nature of time, the importance (or insignificance) of individual
people and how their decisions can (or cannot) change the world,
and often the differences between reality and recorded history.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In some stories, time travel occurs physically, sending a person
to the past or future in others only words, images, or emotions
actually travel through time. Sometimes the time traveler can
only see and hear the future or past but they are unable to
physically interact with it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time travel can occur in any direction depending upon the
storyline. People from the past can travel to their past, to the
present or even to our future. People from our future or distant
future can travel to the present day, the past or distant past,
or to their own future or distant future. People from the present
day might travel to the past or distant past or to the future or
the distant future. All of these scenarios examine the
relationship between the actions of a single individual or a small
group of individuals and the course of history.

I really like Slaughter House Five,one of my favorites.. Do you think Stranger in a Strange Land might qualify as a time travel science fiction book... just curious?
