I don't like most Stephen King books, but I love time travel novels, and this one is very richly imagined. It's about a 35-year-old man who goes back to 1958 at the request of a dying friend to try to stop JFK's assassination. (The portal to the past sends one to 1958.)

Bedside book: "Primitive Secrets" by Debra Turrell Atkinson. It's about a murder mystery that takes place in Hawaii and has connections with Hawaiian folklore and traditional religion.
