I don't think it is fair to expect perfection on the bleeding edge. Frankly, the voice is monotonous and hard to follow lots of times. Why not take a listen and take notes. Send the notes in and see if you can't help make it better. Heck, it's free! Who knows if everybody contributes a little, maybe there will be a fantastic computer voice generated that can read all the PG works so that they can be enjoyed.
Frankly, I've heard some piss-poor human readers do works as well...
I think it would be great for other people to read existing PG works. The only thing stopping you is your own microphone! Download the work of your choice from www.gutenberg.net and get rolling!
