Thank you Beth, at least you read all of my posts! I'm not saying that Autumn-Winter is the best time to read LotR (although it may be). I am saying that when these seasons come around I am closer to Middle-earth in a sense I can't fully describe. For some sort of conclusion I pointed out aspects of The Lord of the Rings that contribute to this feeling in one of my earlier posts.

Rune and Evisse, I read the books (and always have desire to read them) in all the seasons as well, I disagree with the feeling being caused by the time you read the book, because everyone probably reads it at a different time.
