Thoughts on life, love and faith by Plasticmind.

Ingredients:

• A Mac: specifically terminal and textedit
• The full text of your favorite book: try Project Gutenberg or the Christian Classics Ethereal Library for starters.

Directions:

1. Copy the entire text of the book you want to a text file.
2. Save it to your desktop as "booktitle.txt" (obviously replacing booktitle with the title of your book).
3. Bring up a terminal window.
4. At the prompt type: say -v Vicki -f ~/Desktop/booktitle.txt -o ~/Desktop/booktitle.aiff
5. Double-click the new sound file on your desktop and enjoy!

For a little variety, you can try some different voices, like Bruce or Junior. Convert a whole slew of them and throw them on to your iPod for on-the-go enlightenment!
