Awesome, just bought this one last week! :)
I did read and enjoy Mordant's Need, Barbed Coil and Hitchiker's Guide.
Here's a few other's I've read if anyone is using this thread for suggestions:
Stephen King's Dark Tower
Kim Wilkin's standalone books - Autumn Castle and Giants of the Frost.
Rand Miller's Myst Reader (3 books)

Joel Rosenberg's Guardians of the Flame series deals with some RPGers thrust into a land of swords & sorcery.
Its been about 2 decades since I read it so Im not going to vouch for the quality, IF you could even track them down... :)

What a cool plot idea. I really have to track this one down. Thanks!

Best wishes,

While tidying up my profile and account, I noticed this older thread I started. Since then, I have joined Goodreads, and made a list called 'Modern day character meets fantasyland'.
There are currently 113 books on it. You can access the list if you are a member. I have the same user name there.
 
Lest Darkness Falls by L Sprague De Camp A 20th century man named Martin Padway suddenly finds himself transported back in time to 6th century Rome. This is a wonderfully comic alt history novel. (y):cool:

Awesome what you did here. You started this thread in 2006 and then revived it in 2010 and again today.
The eternal thread!
 
How about The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub? The John Carter books would qualify, although they're nominally SF. And there's always Alice.
 
I'm surprised no one mentioned L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt's The Compleat Enchanter.

Philip Jose Farmer was pretty good at this sort of thing. Try To Your Scattered Bodies Go and The World Of Tiers.

The original might be A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain. Title is self-explanatory.

And of course there is the brilliant A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
