Yes, I see that. For me, it's all about the reading. I love the way that being in the right place heightens the experience of reading the book. I remember reading The Subtle Knife when I was living just around the corner from Philip Pullman and driving along exactly the road where Will cuts between worlds every day. It definitely helped increase the sense of being in the world of the story that I was reading.
I did read quite a lot of books set in England while I was in the US, but that was mainly because of being so homesick.
