I'm reading a book called "The Extraordinaries", by TJ Klune. A nerdy, very un-extraordinary guy named Nick writes fan fiction stories about superheroes. Until he meets Shadow Star, his town's most famous superhuman (and Nick's secret crush). Suddenly, Nick doesn't want to just write about superheroes; he wants to LIVE as one of them.
I'm also writing a short story about a young man who meets a boy with autism/Asperger's Syndrome. The "special" boy believes that he's actually The Little Prince, from Asteroid B-612.
