First there was the DJ, then the VJ, now Penguin audio books is sponsoring "penguin remixed" a contest that might spawn a whole new genre--are you ready for the BJ ?

According to the website, "thirty of the best spoken word samples from some of the greatest books of all time and the finest actors around." are available for remix. "Download the samples, use them in your music, submit your tracks. The ten top tracks, as voted by you, will be turned into a Penguin digital audiobook, which will be available through the Audible.co.uk store and via iTunes UK."

Just to get your creative juices flowing, here is one of the samples available for remix. It's from Lewis Carroll's, "Alice in Wonderland," read by Susan Jameson.
