Time travel? Anyone?

[ivyfic]

I've asked for this before, but does anyone have recommendations for good time-travel novels? I'm in the mood for something meaty and emo and angsty that won't make me throw it at the wall. And even though time-travel romance is such a big category it's a browse category on amazon, it's that "not throw it at the wall" bit that seems to be the stumbling block.

I don't actually care if it's romance or not, but if it's not, it still needs to be more about characters than mechanics.

And if you say Outlander or Time Traveler's Wife, that's it, you've disqualified yourself from giving me recommendations by proving you have no taste.

Have you read Making History by Stephen Fry? It's not exact time-travel, per se, but it's certainly time-stream fuckery and I enjoyed it a lot. In places it's a little evident that it's an older man writing the POV of a grad student, but I have actually know grad students like that so... it didn't bother me so much.

Seconding this.

I love Stephen Fry, but I'm generally not a fan of the "witty" novel. If this isn't too meta, I might enjoy it, though. (I like my self-indulgent fiction presented without irony, thank you very much.)
