Seasonal Reading

The leaves are beginning to change, and as the seasons change, so too do my reading habits.
Spring and summer are more lively times of year, and I tend to go for shorter, more amusing stories.  Terry Pratchett, Stephen King, or a good old fashioned pulp detective novel are my most common material.
Fall and winter are different.  I find there's a sort of seriousness in the air, and that leads me to read novels which are more 'dense'.  The sort of stories that take time to consider, that you read slowly and digest the fine details.  Things like Hemingway novels, or Peter Straub are perfect fall reading.  And of course, Halloween was made for reading Ray Bradbury shorts.

Do you have your own seasonal reading patterns?
