Crossroads is the latest novel by Jonathan Franzen. The sometimes controversial American writer is back with yet another tale of a Midwestern American family in what could be his best novel yet.
The main characters in Franzen's Crossroads are naughty Christians whose lives are on the verge of changing forever (or perhaps staying like they were). The time is the early 1970s and the place is mostly the fictional New Prospect Township of suburban Chicago, and also Arizona, and California. This is our first time with the Hildebrandts and the members of the Crossroads youth group but it won't be our last. Crossroads is the first novel in a projected trilogy ironically entitled The Key to All Mythologies.

![5 Favorite Books (The list of my favorite books could go on and on) [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XMTFN4Sq488/mqdefault.jpg "5 Favorite Books (The list of my favorite books could go on and on) [CC]
Here are 5 of my favorite books and a novel Im looking forward to reading soon!
Many viewers have asked me to make a video about my all-time favorite books. I find it hard to talk about ALL my favorite books because, thankfully, the list is always growing.
So, instead, I decided to make a video of 5 of my favorite books only. To narrow things down, I only discuss books by Spanish-language authors. But dont worry, they are all available in English translation and, indeed, in many other languages.
Some of my favorite authors include Garcรญa Mรกrquez, Borges, and Julio Cortรกzar.
Watch the video to find out what books are among my favorites and let me know which ones are yours!
