I have read some classics about time travel. I am trying to find some more that are quality and not some junk like most of the new stuff on the subject. The Time Machine was a good book, or Simak's Time and Again or Ward Moore's Bring the Jubilee. Robert Heinlein wrote one I would think is time travel called Door into Summer. Does anymore have any more they can think of that would be good and not cheesy, I would prefer some a little older.

I'd recommend Timescape by Gregory Benford.

Three older books all involving travelling forward in time in one way or another:

Laurence Manning - The Man Who Awoke
Larry Niven - A World Out of Time
Joe Haldeman - The Forever War

IIRC, The Man Who Folded Himself - David Gerrold

Way Station by Clifford Simak.An older book considered to be a classic.

Way Station is a great book, by one of my favorite authors. I am not sure where the time travel comes in, but know it is a good one. Thanks for the tips.

[Corwwyn]

Yeah, regardless of time travel, Way Station is an excellent book. Wonderfully atmospheric too.

Just remembered another...unusual book:

Terry Greenhough - Time and Timothy Grenville.

Not a great book, but moderately ok, and definately not run-of-the-mill.

If you don't mind stepping slightly outside normal SF, Time and Again by Jack Finney is a beautiful if over-sentimental book. Quite convincing and true to itself.

If you want to stay in straight SF and you like it hardcore (as in, written by a real physicist) I'd highly recommend Timemaster by Robert L. Forward. His writing style is average, but his vision is excellent, disconcerting and self-consistent. And he doesn't mind the weird stuff, like what happens when you meet your future self.

Lastly, Strange Attractors by William Sleator is quite good and addresses some chaos theory along with the branching universes things. It is aimed at the young teen market though, so this is only if you still enjoy kids' books (though Sleator writes for smart kids, and some of his work deserves a much wider audience.)

Three cheers for Way Station, for whatever reason!

Sort of an offshoot of time travel, a great read is John MacDonald's "The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything". The current film "Clockstoppers" seems to have stolen the main premise of this enjoyable story.
