Reading aloud

I love to read aloud. I started early; I have memories of reading to my little sister on weekend mornings when we still lived in New Jersey (circa 1974). Once I read the entire Scholastic Books edition of Annie Oakley in a strange syncopated jazz rhythm. I read Sarah Crewe aloud to Jenn, too.
Jenn’s not the only one to listen to me read. On a long car trip in the early 90s, I read David Brin’s Earth to Tod as he drove. I often read him chapters from books he’s reading. I read newspaper clippings, online articles and weblog postings to friends and family. I read to friends over the phone or in person when they are sick or tired.
Now I want to perform for a broader audience. I thought about volunteering to read for the blind, but Tod had a clever idea–read and record works in the public domain.
I will record them as MP3s and post them here as well as submitting them to audio book collectives. But what to read? There are hundreds of titles via Project Gutenberg. Where should I start?
