Time Travel for Beginners

A Sound of Thunder is the archetypal time-travel short-story.

All You Zombies is the ultimate in solipsist predestination time-travel stories.

Neither will take you more than 15 minutes to read, and you really should.

jbr's A Guide To sf chronophysics is an entertaining read.

Being a borderline basketOCD case, I prefer The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl.

I read the Bradbury back when I first discovered sf. I seem to recall it impressed me a lot more then.
It's true what they say...you can never go back.

Blimey, two short stories I've read! I highly reccomend the Sounder of Thunder film. It's and intelligent and well made adaptation. It certainly isn't a steaming pile of abysmal CGI, awful acting and man eating baboon-lizards.

Heavens no.

Thanks for the link to 'all you zombies', I've never read it because I generally avoid Heinlein, but that's I think more interesting than it appears at first sight, and pleasingly leaves a lot of questions unanswered
