Surprised no one has mentioned Heinlein's By His Bootstraps - surely the ur-time-travel story of them all? - even if only to make sure you've got it.
Octavia Butler's Kindred - absolutely essential - uses time travel to explore issues of identity, race and power.
Backward, Turn Backward (1988, in Crown of Stars) by James Tiptree/Alice Sheldon which involves a girl who travels back and forward in time while she insists on her own destruction - extremely powerful.
Lots of Steve Baxter's books involve manipulating wormholes to travel in time, starting with the Xeelee, including the Baxter/Clarke collaboration Light of Other Days, and carrying on in his more recent Manifold trilogy.
Very difficult these days to separate time travel from alternate worlds, of course.
