There are some books that, when I think of them, evoke strong memories and feelings, transporting me back in time. Are there any books that do the same for you?

I remeber reading Loyalty in Death and there was no exceprt from the next book in back. There was a feeling of "Is the series over?" That was the first time I recall going online to look for more info about an author's upcoming releases.
I'm sure I'd looked at author's websites before and Borders had bookmarks with upcoing books I used to use as well, but this was something I had to know immediately! LOL Plus her website wasn't even her name dot com at the time (for either NR or JDR). Anyway I found an answer—no the series wasn't over—and printed it out to stick in the back of my paperback edition.
It's amusing now given the fact the series is still going!
Back in the early 90s I went to a big bookstore in the next city and discovered they had an entire selection of foreign language (I'm german) fantasy and SF novels. I didn't have to wait for the translations anymore and discovered authors that weren't published in german! That day I picked up Winds of Fate by Mercedes Lackey and still have a soft spot for that book. This was before the Internet, where it is easy to find out when the next book will be out, so of course I had to go back to the store often to check for new arrivals... :)
Reading Shogun by James Clavell for the first time with the original cover and in the paperback format. I read it during my early teen years when things weren't quite so great at the time. My mom had all the James Clavell books in their original covers, but for some reason, Shogun grabbed my attention.
I still read Shogun when I want to get away from modern day life. Even though it is fiction, it is based on feudal Japan when Japan had some foreigners in it, but it wasn't quite opened up to the rest of the world yet. Thank goodness for e-book formats now. My hands hurt after reading the paperback version.
The Hunger Games that started me reading I had a substitute teacher back in high school who recommend me to start out reading audiobooks and The Hunger Games was one of them and then on I just been reading books and audio books
