For myself, I only pay attention if the book is a mystery, for some reason, though it is more about the setting than the author's personal history. I still read mysteries by authors about other areas/countries, but books from authors like Tony Hillerman (Arizona and New Mexico) and Raymond Chandler (yes, I know he was born in Britain, but his books are notably based in Los Angeles and surrounding areas of SoCal), or for a living example there is Connie Shelton whose books are based in Albuquerque, just allow me to immerse myself that much more by taking me back to familiar places.
