For the central high school in North Rhine-Westphalia, the students read in different vintages Fontane's Effi Briest and the Törless. In addition, baroque poetry or love poems by Heinrich Heine and Others.
Not to mention the fact that poetry, because they are beautifully presented, often make a lasting impression, even some many novels can be found online: at LibriVox. "LibriVox provides free audiobooks from the public domain, so copyright-free texts." Where they come from texts? Now, users create them themselves, the quality is far too extremely different. There are first class spoken texts - my current favorite is Stevenson's Treasure Iceland - but also more consistent shots, both in terms of technical quality but also in terms of pronunciation and intonation. It's great that there are texts in any language that can be used for teaching foreign languages, English, English, French, but also from less common languages in the classroom. It's also nice that the text were always recorded by native speakers, it is even Latin and Esperanto. For high school students who Listen to your readings would like, it is possible to do that for free here. There are shots of Effi Briest, by various works of Heinrich Heine or Gryphius and much more.
Who wants to bring his students to real excellence, of course it can - for example by using garage band or audacity persuade themselves to produce something and submit . Of course, only with lyrics that are no longer protected by copyright. Poems were a beginning, a story not bad, a novel is a real challenge!
A tip for the iPod / iPhone users: There are a small app, with all the books directly on the road and can be heard on the wireless.
