Using the new ultra-realistic Alex voice in Leopard, you can create an audio book out of any text. Open Automator and add the following steps:
- Text: Get Contents of TextEdit Document
- Text: Text to Audio File (using Alex as the voice)
- Music: Import Audio Files (I use AAC encoder)

- [Optional] Music: Set Info of iTunes Songs
- [Optional] Music: Import Files into iTunes -- specify playlist here
