1. Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen

This is a classic novel that takes you through the amazing journey of Elizabeth Bennet. You learn of her family's struggles with money, her sister's journey to find love, family drama's that could possibly ruin the family name, and her struggles of accepting love.

2. The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey

This book is perfect for anyone that is seeking adventure. This novel takes you through the lives of humans that are fighting to survive an alien invasion. The twist and turns in this novel will leave your head spinning. The end will have you wanting more, which is great because there are several more novels in the heart wrenching story.

9. Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

This novel tells you what it would have happened if you committed adultery in 1642. A young woman ends up becoming pregnant while her husband is away. She is soon found guilty of adultery, her punishment is to where a scarlet letter on her clothes. Showing everyone her sin for as long as she lives. Learn what it was like in 1642 for this young woman and other's who committed adultery by reading this novel.


10. Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer

Don't judge just yet, this is actually a very good novel. This is the re-imagined version of Twilight, this novel switches the genders. This novel shows what would have happened if almost all of the characters gender swapped. This is a very interesting take on this love story. In my opinion this is better than Twilight. I hope you do give this novel a chance and enjoy reading it.


All of these novels are amazing and will bring joy into any reader's life. Everyone of these books are unique, every story takes you on a thrilling journey. I hope you enjoy all of the books I have suggested! Have a great time reading!

This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
