Friday Night Lights was up there for me as well. His Dark Materials is probably the novel series that has impacted my life the most, but Friday Night Lights was the first time I seriously engaged with novelized journalism.

I inhaled that book, then proceeded to spend a year reading only books like it. Fast Food Nation, In Cold Blood and Helter Skelter all stand out. But Friday Night Lights was the first.

Holldander was editor; pretty sure Random Hs was publisher. SORRY - I HATE being one of "those people" but I sold used/rare sports books for 40 yrs....
