Sun makes me sick until afternoon, when it gets colder. If it is sunny outside I have even more reasons to shut myself in my condo, reading as much as possible.

Breezy early mornings and chill nights: these 2 scenarios are perfect in those days in which no one is around at these hours. in these cases I can't justify myself staying in my house.

If I'm walking outside I'll usually read philosophy or poetry. My modus operandi is always the same: sit down, read something (usually one to two paragraphs if it's philosophy, one poem if it is poetry), close the book, walk 5 minutes (thinking about what I've read), as I'm walking I reread what I've read earlier, keep walking for 5 minutes (now putting what I've read in context), sit down, if everything is clear read again 5 minutes (and the cycle continues). I do this until I decide to go back home, once this happens I stop reading new passages and instead I think, focus and contemplate what I've read earlier until I get back home, checking on the text every time is needed as I'm walking.

I've recently (I've done so since I was 12, though) read and understood books as hard as Spinoza's Ethics and Husserl's Logical Investigations. Usually it is doable as long as the pages pf the book are enough for you to takes notes.
For example I could read Kant outside only after having synthetized most of his concepts in tables and summaries.
