Is it normal to imagine familiar places and/or people when reading?

The whole point to reading, for me, is to get away from the mundane and the familiar. However, whenever I read, I find that I have a tendency to imagine familiar places and people unless I force myself to do otherwise. Does anyone else do this?

    Normal. This also happens to me while listening to the radio.

    When I read a book, the characters house is my house. All the time

    This is why I can't watch the movie before reading the book.
