Oh, and if this is up your alley, go read Gene Wolfe's latest, The Knight. Best fantasy book I've read in a couple years, though I haven't hit the second volume The Wizard yet.
It's about a teen from modern America who finds himself fuddling through memory and exploring a fantasy realm.
Given your post, you MUST read this book. It's very much what you're talking about. Besides, it's really, really good!
