I know that you can't astral project into a book, but I was told that when you your on the lower astral planes, whatever you imagine happens. So could you go there and imagine yourself in the story, like the characters and landmarks and all of that.
Or if that doesn't work...
Could you use lucid dreaming and create the story in your dreams, that way your in it, yet you do not have to go into a book(cuz its not possible). Or if you can't lucid dream, maybe a spell to help you have a lucid dream, or a spell to make you dream about the book/story that you want to go into.
Or you can go with visualizing what happens. That is how I read books and I completely block everything around me out when I read, it's only me and the story. I visualize the characters, landmarks, the events, and everything. I also can a lot times feel what the author is saying the characters are feeling, like if the character is happy, I get happy, and also if the character is next to a fire or something, I start to get really hot. That is almost as good as actually being in the book, because you experience what is happening but within somewhere where you feel safe and can't get harmed.
Just a few suggestions, unless the ap thing and the dreaming thing don't work, then sorry for wasting your time. :)
Those are good suggestions, littlewizard, and upon reading them I realized that I should clarify something.
I do not think it is impossible to be in a similar world to that of the book nor to make your own 'book-world' based on that one, but to literally put yourself inside a book; I explained the only way I believe possible to do that in my first post.
Erm.. Well I f never astral projected But as far as you can also let things apear and disapear. So i thought you could maybe let a whole cartoon hapen around you and you stand in the midle of it ;P
I don't think it's litterally possible but I think that visualisation is the best option (as many before me said)... not that I know how you have to do it 'cuz if I read a book it always has happened without me even noticing it...
1 tip though: don't pick a sad book
reason: I read a book with a cliffhanger where the leadchar was depressed in the end and the next book was not yet on the market, I've been feeling down for a whole week so...

I agree with Reg for the most part. AP isn't really made from imagination, it is a place with its own continents and lands (if you know what I mean). I'm sure there are places you can influence with it, but most people go to the same places and don't imagine up there own.
Also, not all books are based on certain worlds, I think mainly on the authors imagination and not all authors AP. Perhaps by chance someone placed their characters in a place similar, but I don't think you will see the same characters or the plot line.
Essentially, I do not think it is possible to actually place yourself in a book or movie using AP.
the real world is better which is where books are inspired from.. not the other way around. Unless of course, Pinocchio was not base in a idea to teach kids not to lie... and it is actually another parallel universe.. O_O which is a good thought to maintain the brain active, but it is better not to get off completely of reality.. just once in a while to give the brain a brake from the common problems.. I will suggest you to practice dream recalling or A.P... (meditate, best thing to do).. this will not help you get into a book.. because it is far fetch from reality (or the sense of it). What I am suggesting is something that will help you find the cause of such fantasy, and to find grounding or self sense.
