Best time travel book I've read lately is Harvest of Time by Alastair Reynolds. It's a Dr. Who book, but a stand alone. I personally can't stand Dr Who in general, but this book is great on all fronts. Characters, plots and the mind numbing paradoxes of time travel.
Other than that, Timescape by Greg Benford, Cowl by Neal Asher, Cosmic Engineers by A.E Van Vogt, Our Children's Children By Clifford D Simak!

I love Clifford Simak :) I love his time travel and alternate world themes. I think the writers for Dr. Who must also have been Simak fans :)

Just read The Masks of Time by Robert Silverberg. About a timetraveller from a 1000 years into the future. He comes as a visitor because he is curious about ancient way of doing things. Politicians and scientists rally around and try sometimes to pin him down as afraud and sometimes to use him as a child against the anarchic movement of the Apocalyptists that believe the year will end 1 januar of the year 2000. It is more about the timetraveller and how we wouldreceive one than actual timetravel. Amusing and easy to read story.
