I have a vague memory that years ago we had a thread discussing whether we liked to read about characters who were like us or different. Perhaps that's another way of saying something similar?
At one point I went through a phase of reading action/thriller novels. I have little or nothing in common with the heroes in such books and wouldn't want to hang out with them - nor they with me I'm sure! but they satisfied my need for escapism. I wouldn't say I connected with the characters though.
