Galveston Reads

Galveston Reads, the city’s “One Town, One Book” program hosted H.G. “Buzz” Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team and A Dream, attended a community discussion on Tuesday in the Galveston Island Convention Center. 

Bissinger shared his experiences of living in Odessa during the 1988 football season during the Permian Panthers’ bid for the state title. 

Bissinger said it was an honor for his book to have been chosen as this year’s Galveston Reads selection. 

“I think everyone was thrilled with the entire program and last night was the perfect finale,” said Karen Stanley, committee chair. “I couldn’t be more pleased.” 

The Galveston Reads selection committee will be meeting soon to choose a book for the program next year.
