Here's an odd question. Has anybody (besides myself) managed to find any science fiction or fantasy novels that have settings you recognize?
For example, I'm in the middle of a novel called "Forests of the Night" by S. Andrew Swann. Without going into the plot (Find it and read it. It's cool.), there's a scene where he describes one end of an "undesirables ghetto." The part I thought was funny was the building he was describing was one I lived in for several years!
Of course, in reality, the area isn't a ghetto. Not the best neighborhood, but still....
Anybody else find scenes they recognize, or even characters that are based on people they've met?
