Tim,
I agree with you on this topic.  I have listened to books read by a 
synthesizer, and it can be tedious.  I think of all the foreign names and 
the names of classics themselves.  The following come to mind: Euripides, 
Sophocles, Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes, Les Miserables, Jean Valjean, 
Candide.
As someone who has a hearing loss, listending to long periods of prose or 
poetry can be fatiguing because of the level of concentration needed.  I 
am vry open to doing this for short articles, andd would be quite happy 
if I could get the newspaper in this way.
