How to: Time Travel
#### [Behold the Man](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60146.Behold_the_Man) (1969) _by [Michael Moorcock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moorcock)_ [3.8]

Easily one of the most disrespectful, sacrilegious, memorable and funny books I have read. - [@RichardLitt](https://github.com/RichardLitt)
Description
> Karl Glogauer is a disaffected modern professional casting about for meaning in a series of half-hearted relationships, a dead-end job, and a personal struggle. His questions of faith surrounding his father’s run-of-the-mill Christianity and his mother’s suppressed Judaism lead him to a bizarre obsession with the idea of the messiah. After the collapse of his latest affair and his introduction to a reclusive physics professor, Karl is given the opportunity to confront his obsession and take a journey that no man has taken before, and from which he knows he cannot return.
  >
  > Upon arriving in Palestine, A.D. 29, Glogauer finds that Jesus Christ is not the man that history and faith would like to believe, but that there is an opportunity for someone to change the course of history by making the ultimate sacrifice.
  >
  > First published in 1969, _Behold the Man_ broke through science fiction’s genre boundaries to create a poignant reflection on faith, disillusion and self-sacrifice. This is the classic novel that established the career of perhaps contemporary science fiction’s most cerebral and innovative author.
#### [Future Times Three](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2509242.Future_Times_Three) (1968) _by [René Barjavel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Barjavel)_ [3.8]

A really good story about time travels, their consequences and the famous [Grandfather paradox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox). - [@Gibet](https://github.com/Gibet)
Description
> Here is a fantastic journey that takes you from the past into the near-future—then to the year 300,000 A.D. into a world where a single female creature, the size of a mountain, gives birth to all of society!
#### [The Dancers at the End of Time](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60147.The_Dancers_at_the_End_of_Time) (1977) _by [Michael Moorcock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moorcock)_ [4.0]

I liked this series so much I got a tattoo partially inspired by it. - [@RichardLitt](https://github.com/RichardLitt)
Description
> _The Dancers at the End of Time_ is a series of science fiction novels and short stories, the setting of which is the End of Time, an era “where entropy is king and the universe has begun collapsing upon itself.” The inhabitants of this era are immortal decadents, who create flights of fancy using power rings which draw on energy devised and stored by their ancestors millions of years prior. Time travel is possible, and throughout the series various points in time are visited and revisited. Space travellers are also common, but most residents of the End of Time find leaving the planet distasteful and clichéd.
#### [The Door Into Summer](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/348.The_Door_Into_Summer) (1957) _by [Robert A. Heinlein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Heinlein)_ [4.0]
Description
> It is 1970, and electronics engineer Dan Davis has finally made the invention of a lifetime: a household robot with extraordinary abilities, destined to dramatically change the landscape of everyday routine. Then, with wild success just within reach, Dan’s greedy partner and even greedier fiancée steal his work and leave him penniless, and trick him into taking the long sleep—suspended animation for thirty years.
  >
  > They never imagine that the future time in which Dan awakens has a very limited form of time travel, just enough that Davis can travel back and recover his research. He then again undergoes suspended animation, and awakens again in the high-tech future of the year 2000, with his reputation, fortune, and his sweetheart.
#### [The Eyre Affair](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27003.The_Eyre_Affair) (2001) _by [Jasper Fforde](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4432.Jasper_Fforde)_ [3.9]

This novel is absurd fun -- think Douglas Adams style with a literary flair. Though flawed, the later novels in the series are in my reading pile. - [@neontapir](https://github.com/neontapir)
Description
> Great Britain circa 1985: time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. Acheron Hades, Third Most Wanted Man In the World, steals the original manuscript of Martin Chuzzlewit and kills a minor character, who then disappears from every volume of the novel ever printed! Hades' real target is the beloved Jane Eyre, and it's not long before he plucks her from the pages of Bronte's novel.
