I may be autistic but I like to have my books have a somewhat seasonal feel. Not necessarily through matching up with the seasons, per se, but more so that feeling that radiates from a certain season. For example, Moby Dick, although not explicitly during in a gruelling winter, is peak comfy reading during a dark and damp winter.
