Other stuff that comes to mind as not Science Fiction in my mind...
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain
The House on the Strand by Daphne Du Maurier
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
But maybe that's just me. Someone else might look at those and say they're all Science Fiction.  |
Funny, just before I came over here I thought of
Connecticut Yankee--no, I wouldn't call that SF.
I don't consider
Christmas Carol time travel--Scrooge is seeing the past and the future, but he's only an observer. Nor do I consider Rip a time traveler, just a sound sleeper. I haven't read the other two.
I keep being tempted by Susanna Kearsley, but the time travel element keeps me away. If one of her books was the choice, I would probably be happy to be "forced" to read it.
The book I wanted to nominate is clearly SF AND time travel, but isn't digitized, as far as I can tell: Michael Moorcock's
Behold the Man.
