I also would like to point out that if anyone has any of there own writing which they would like me to read out, as well as suggestions for reading, please feel free to contact me, I would be more than happy. Spring is here, here is a poem by Matsuo Bashō I found just now-

First Day of Spring

first day of spring—I keep thinking about   the end of autumn

Today's reading is from Jean Paul Sartre's Nausea 1938. The excerpt describes a moment in which the protagonist, Antoine Roquentin, is sitting in a garden, and experiences a sudden wave of what he calls 'nausea', a realisation of the 'absurdity; of the world. Sartre was a key figure of post-war philosophical thinking in existentialism and phenomenology. 

Also, the song attached to the beginning and end of the recording is Skeeter Davis The End of the World 1962.
