LibriVox 18th Anniversary Collection

Read by LibriVox volunteers

"LibriVox is a hope, an experiment, and a question: can the net harness a bunch of volunteers to bring books in the public domain to life..." Hugh McGuire, LibriVox's founder, August 9, 2005

In celebration of LibriVox's 18th anniversary, here is collection of short works of various kinds and from varied authors which include in their title the words 'eighteen' or 'eighteenth' or the number '18.' Each piece is selected and read by a LibriVox volunteer.

Sept 3, 2024 - removed the original section 16, "Flight 18" due to a copyright take-down notice of the original text.
