Seems to cut out after just a few sentences. For example, "PROLOGUE
“A HISTORIAN is not just a chronicler of what has been,” the Historian said. “The fruit of his labors is a series of terms from which the future can be extrapolated.
[STOPS SPEAKING HERE] “His significant function is not bookkeeping but prediction.”"

saycommand distributed with Mac OS X 10.3 and later would do the job just as well.To read from a file:
say -f "myfile.txt" -o "myfile.aiff"To read from standard input:
say -o myfile.aiff(hit CTRL-D to exit)To read in a different voice:
say -v Zarvox -f myfile.txt -o myfile.aiff
