Mike Eschman of Enigma Technologies Corp, a member of SchoolForge, has been doing exactly this for some time now.
He has created a set of scripts and tools to automatically generate audio recordings from Gutenberg texts, a number of which are now available from the etc-edu website, http://www.etc-edu.com/
I suggest you subscribe to the seul-edu (http://www.seul.org/edu)and/or SchoolForge (http://www.schoolforge.net/)mailing lists if you are seriously in discussing this further, since this is a fairly important educational topic.
btw, this is about the most pathetic list of replies I've ever seen! Sure, some humour is great, but most of this is rubbish.
