If I wanted to contribute my lush, clear, beautiful, amazing narrating voice ;) to Mises.org in the form of creating audio files of certain books for them, would I be allowed to create audio files of just any book that's featured in the Mises.org literature section?

That's right. How absurd to make reading aloud and distributing something illegal? That's just bizarre. Read away. It's good for everyone.

Are you speaking for the Mises Institute here?  Just want to be sure I don't get myself involved in any legal trouble.  I know the Mises Institute is pretty much all anti-intellectual property these days, but I just want to make sure there's no other stipulations I have to follow.

not speaking on their behalf but i doubt they would really care. Not like they have a staff dedicated to making audio books. They license all(or most) the books as Creative Commons (Attribution?) 3.0.  If you follow the license, you'll probably be fine.

Mangix is correct - as long as you follow the Creative Commons license, you don't need to ask.

So if I wanted to I could submit my anti-war speeches and some speeches about the false-left right paradigm if I wanted to?  I could do that as well?
