Nice to know there are other people in the world that don't see everything they read. I for the longest time thought there was something wrong with me when I was younger, because you hear about "books taking you to another place" and I never got that, even though I was/am a very prolific reader. I guess I find enjoyment from something else in the story.

I came to realize there are a lot of people that do see themselves as the MC in what they are reading, and so much so that it's a common writing technique to not visually describe the MC, only their feelings etc. (Which is why/how the Twilight books won over so many women)
