Top crowd reviews mentioning Time Travel Fiction:
Actually, it was. Bars would make money off of the beer and food was cheap. So there'd be the fixin's to make your own sandwich or whatever as long as you were drinking beer.
Time And Again is a pretty interesting read. It's science fiction - barely - but he goes from modern times to 1882. This was one of the things he talks about in the book.
This premise is similar to <em>The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August</em>, which I would recommend to all you nice people.
I actually got the Haynes manual for the delorean time machine. There's a reference to this, in that Doc replaces the stock Peugot-Renault-Volvo 130hp 6-cylinder engine with a Porche 928 V8 and converted the transmission into an automatic-manual hybrid.
If you’d like to go down the rabbit hole with me, please read the descriptions to these books.

And even scarier the last book in the same series “the last president”
1900, Or the Last President https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BDSDH4Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_dY.CFbZQ2SQ61
He drained the fluids of the car before storing it. Gas goes bad eventually and would have gummed up all the fuel lines in the 75 years it sat there. (Source:https://www.amazon.com/Back-Future-DeLorean-Machine-Workshop/dp/1683836219)
Now what he did with the gas afterward? He must have used it elsewhere because after he repaired the fuel line they tried to run the car off the "strongest stuff" the local bar had and it blew the fuel injection manifold.
Supposedly from this collection of books Baron Trump Collection Adventures Underground by a fellow named Ingersoll Lockwood.
LMAO there is some basis for this. I remember this around 2016. There's a book from the 1800s I think and there's a boy named Baron who goes on adventures...
Yeah! Found it!
Don't you remember this? https://www.amazon.com/Baron-Trump-Collection-Adventures-Underground/dp/1789870003
It wasn't Trump, it was his son! Who is actually him, either from the past or the future. Or maybe both.
Orson Scott Card actually wrote a Science Fiction book about time travel that had this premise
Has anyone read Replay, by Ken Grimwood? It’s about a man who dies at age 43 but ends up back in the body of his nineteen-yo self. It ends up happening multiple times. The first part is him trying to “fix” his life and the pitfalls he runs into; the second part is what happens when he finds another person who is reliving their life too.
If anyones looking for a new book..
Reading it now, it’s 🔥
Plot: one night all the the stars just vanish 😯
if there’s a weight loss club I guess we can have a sci-fi book club right
Look it up, it just blew my god damn mind

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North.
- Harry August is on his deathbed. Again.
No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes.
Until now.
As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. "I nearly missed you, Doctor August," she says. "I need to send a message."
This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.*
I had posted the same question in another forum months ago and was discussing this with my wife.
Remembering classmates names.
Remembering 15yo school routine.
55yo mind dating/hanging with 15yo kids.
Frustrated that I just can't Google the current status of the world.
Frustrated that I have to go to a stock broker to buy shares of Apple, Microsoft and the such. Also, coming up with a good excuse as to why 15yo me has an sudden interest in investing.
1980's fashion.
Not being legally able to drive.
Also, someone suggested this book: https://www.amazon.com/Replay-Ken-Grimwood/dp/068816112X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=JWC2FH4ARJNC&dchild=1&keywords=replay+ken+grimwood&qid=1624061115&s=books&sprefix=replay+ken+%2Caps%2C250&sr=1-1
There was a novel with this premise, Replay by Ken Grimwood: a man from 1990 wakes up in 1963, in the body of his teenage self. His first two acts are:
- He scrapes up all the money he can and bets it on the underdog Dodgers to sweep the Series. He gets 100-to-1 odds and cleans up.
- He flies to Dallas and sends a series of threatening letters to the White House, signing each one “Lee Oswald”.
I love this movie. I have a BTTF T-Shirt and always get positive comments on it every time I wear it.
There is a "Delorean Time Machine: Owner's Workshop Manual" that just came out. It is hardback and is pretty cool. It is made to look like an owner's manual along with detailing how the time machine works with some parts "redacted". It also has "notes" from Doc Brown which detail little missing things from the movie. For example how Doc and Marty met. You can search for it but here is an amazon link to it. It is $27 but worth it for the hardcore fans. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1683836219
For anyone interested in this thought experiment: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August [Amazon] [Goodreads] by Claire North actually plays with this idea in Soviet Russia via a time-loop mechanic. Basically, the main character and some others relive their lives every time they die and can change things, and the story involves one of the supernatural beings like the main character improving technology with each sequential life in Soviet-era Russia, getting farther and farther each life while also navigating the political thorniness of the time. Brilliant book.
> It could be argued both are time travel stories first
Glad you said that. I was wondering how to set-up Replay.
"Replay asks the question: "What if you could live your life over again? "
Imagine it as Groundhog day but instead of a single day, it's decades...
Peut-être que la collection The Baron Trump ecrit en 1889 qui inclut The Last President va être une oeuvre prémonitoire (je l'ai pas lu, je me fis juste aux titres).
There are ripples through time, often in very unexpected ways.
This question, at its core, seems simple.
I stop Columbus from discovering America by sending him to the Holy Land instead...
Aztec's take over the America's and spread to Europe searching for more sacrifices for their god... flipping the disease situation that struck the Americas and leading to mass invasion ....
For those of you wrapping your heads around the 'what-if's...." go read this...

It is all about the concept this topic is about.
Pastwatch by Orson Scott Card has kind of a similar story. They use mirrors and such to watch and study Christopher Columbus and the story flips back and forth between the future scientists and Columbus. I was oblivious to the political motivations behind the book when I read it, but it was still a good story if I remember and the concept is cool.

Favorite Book - The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August
I'm a huge fan of time travel stories in any form and this book was one of the most unique and interesting concepts I've read.

Semi-random pick: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. Read the blurb on Amazon, but basically this dude keeps being reborn after he dies. Hi-jinks ensue.
Sounds like a sci-fi book. Maybe Spin by Robert Wilson? Closest I could think of.
If you like reading stories about the concept of starting over after death at a young age with memories intact, then try reading The First 15 lives of Harry August or Replay
Spoils go to the victors. That is the nature of human expansion from pre-historic times. If the natives would have not been so few in number and more powerful then things might have been different. But they were weak and it is their own fault they were conquered.
BTW, a phenomenal book on the subject of what the americas would have been like if Columbus would have gotten lost and given the natives a little more time to catch up, is "Pastwatch" by Orson Scott Card(author of Enders Game). https://www.amazon.com/Pastwatch-Christopher-Orson-Scott-Card/dp/0812508645
