Zombie, hopefully you don't hate this idea.
I've been listening to a few LibriVox recordings recently. They're audiobooks of novels that are in the public domain. The readers are all volunteers. Basically, different people read and submit different chapters, which isn't as nice as a single reader, but it's surprisingly not terrible.
Now, I know that SHoSW isn't in the public domain, but Zombie's told me that there is no plan for an audio book.
Assuming he's okay with it, who here would be willing to read a chapter or two to contribute to the project? There are ~10 chapters if memory serves, so this seems totally doable.
Each chapter is a little lengthy, so maybe we should consider farming out sub chapters if people don't want to read so much.
Finally, someone will need to normalize the volume/sound quality as much as possible and make a consistent experience. I volunteer to do this until someone with more skillz (note the 'z') steps in and does a better job.
