You mean a book where you really project yourself into the story, identifying with one of the central characters and being involved as if you were really there? Many, many books do that to me; I love to read, and I tend to read about people I can admire. I suppose if I were to choose one (or a series, really) that did that to me the most, it would be the Harry Potter series. It seems such a different world, but it's not, really. There are the same forces at work -- petty power trips, noble courage and cleverness, strong friendships -- as in the "muggle" world, but they are made more interesting by going through platform 9 3/4 to a place not quite on the map.
That's why I plan to name my bookstore "Highway 9 3/4 Books." It will be on California (state route) Nine, which runs through the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains. It's at something of an angle to the rest of the world, with witches and bikers and aging hippies (well, aging witches and bikers, too, actually), and a slightly different view of "reality."

The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan. I couldn't put it down and the books took me through a whole range of emotions. I thought about the characters in the books for days after I had finished them. Can't wait for the follow up series.

When I read a book I tend to see the characters and the places set in the book as a movie going on in my head. And one book that I have read over and over because it is such a fascinating read is 'Temple' by Matthew Reilly. But all of Matthew Reilly's books are good and I tend to 'see' all of them that way as well as every other book I have ever read.

'Interview with the Vampire' by Anne Rice - did actually feel like I was in the story when I was reading it, so when I had to put it down, I kinda walked around in a daze!
I've also felt like this when I watched the film 'Hello Dolly' - I actually thought I was Dolly for about 10 minutes afterwards!
