My pick would have to be the A Whole Nother Story trilogy, in which (spoiler warning) you can only travel back in time. But because time is in a loop of sorts, if you go before the beginning of time, you will be at the end of time. From there you can go back to any time you want to. And time paradoxes cannot be produced. Plus, your memories from the previous timeline exist as well as the memories from the new one.

      I love this book! But do not, I repeat DO NOT watch the movie. It’s one of the worst book-to-movie adaptations I’ve ever seen.

      I just started it and it just feels very aged. This is my first chrichton book and it doesn’t feel as if it’s written by a renowned writer.

        If it helps, I love Crichton but Timeline is by far my least favorite book of his. I had such a difficult time getting through it. Other Crichton books I’d not read again are Next, State of Fear, and Rising Sun.

        Twenty some odd years ago, I was reading Timeline the book with no idea that there was a film coming out.

        Went to the cinema with my then girlfriend, and while the trailers were playing, all of a sudden this trailer starts hitting all the plot points of the book I’m currently reading.

        There were a few short moments before I figured out that they had made a film of the book where I sat there absolutely freaked out.
