Like all the other answers state, it's not a common thing to do, but there is nothing to prevent you from doing otherwise. A great example that I'd suggest you read is Italo Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveler. It's exactly what you are looking for. An entire novel whose protagonist is you.

It is not only good received by the critics and readers, but it also considered one of Calvino's masterpieces.

Another notable example is Anthony Burgess' Clockwork Orange. The narrator of the book often refers to the reader (usually when in a tough position) with phrases like 'Oh, my dear reader' and 'You are the only friend left' etc.
