I love the podiobook "How to Succeed in Evil". Not sure how many of those titles are being taught in the high schools, but maybe that availability will help them spread! Good suggestion!

(The creator has a new venture now, Book Oven.) I hadn't thought of using audiobooks to help students with pronunciation of vocabulary. Another resource you might want to check out is Podiobooks.com, where authors upload recordings of their own readings of their books. Most of them are self-published or unpublished novelists. A few have used the success of their podcasts to land publishing deals. No worries about DRM there. Good to hear you ventured into podcasting–and discovered LibriVox.
