|  | Sweet Thursday by Jerry Farden, John Steinbeck
In Monterey, on the California coast, Sweet Thursday is what they call the day after Lousy Wednesday, which is one of those days that is just naturally bad. Returning to the scene of CANNERY ROW, the weedy lots and junk heaps and flophouses, Steinbeck once again brings to life the denizens of a netherworld of laughter and tears. This novel was made into the musical PIPE DREAM by Rogers and Hammerstein. AUTHOR: Jerry Farden, John Steinbeck

 | Bleak House by Andrew Sanders, Barbara Hardy, Charles Dickens, George Ford, Jim Killavey
Dickens's classic tale of greed, duplicity, and corruption. The story revolves around an inheritance case, Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce, that has been contested in the British courts for decades. Esther Summerson, the illegitimate daughter of Lady Dedlock and Captain Hawdon, lives at Bleak House as John Jarndyce's ward. She does not know the truth of her origins, and when the lawyer Tulkinghorn begins to suspect her actual relation to Lady Dedlock, he is soon found murdered. Two of the heirs in the case, Richard Carston and Ada Claire, marry and move into Bleak House with Jarndyce and Esther. The overwhelming irony in the novel is that, by the time the case is finally settled, nothing remains of the estate. AUTHOR: Andrew Sanders, Barbara Hardy, Charles Dickens, George Ford, Jim Killavey
