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.

      Yeah, Rant (and Palanhiuk’s work in general) is amazing. Once you get the thing with the book structure and you see the downward spiral, you can’t drop the book.

      The relation between time travel, immortality and humanity is also breath taking.

      Telling someone it’s a book about time travel is almost spoiling it, as it’s super weird for the first half with no indication of time travel. But otherwise yes, this, one of my favorite books ever and my #1 Palahniuk book

      Had to scroll way too far to find this. Now you’ll have to excuse me while I go stick my arm down a chuck hole and grab whatever furry thing I find.
