I like Poul Anderson, Robert Silverberg and Keith Laumer for time travel gurus.

Dr. VonSchnelling puts it best:
As I told my friend Albert, time is relative. A zecond is a zecond because vee zay it is a zecond. A day is a day because zat is the time it takes for our vorld to rotate once on its axis. On another vorld, it would be different. A machine has no concept of time. Certainly you can make a machine count forvard with quartz and crystal and mechanisms zat zimulate time, but zat is all it does... zimulate. How do you make a machine count... backwards? How am I to tell my computer "take me to June 16th, 1927"? And does the machine require me to input a precise time? Should I be precise to the minute? the zecond? the nanozecond?

Well Jas:
The thing is that I began slowing down SF reading during the cyberpunk craze. I've gotten away from it all for the last 15 years. I let my LOCUS sub drop. To show you how far away I am, I think I may have heard of Jasper FForde.
I don't even scan the bookracks now. Kinda sad.
I liked most of what they used to call hard sf and silliness from Keith Laumer and other dinosaurs.
Larry Niven was one of my later favorites though. Not easy to read some of the time. I did buy an Analog last year just to check in. Jeeze! 5 bucks now! Not worth it. I know where you are coming from though. It can be fun.
