I disagree, in fact this past summer I re-read (and am still reading) The Lord of the Rings. As I stated before, I do think a lot of it is contributed to the fact that the journey takes place in Autumn-Winter. However, I don't think the time of year you read the book has anything to do with it...at least in my opinion.
