by Jane Goldman [001.95 Gol]
Rather light-toned look at the various scientific and paranormal topics brought up in episodes of the hit X-Files television series. The subjects are covered a bit cursorily, however the "unexplained" elements of the episodes' plots are tied in nicely to concepts of "could this really have happened?" This book will appeal most to X-Files fans who have an open mind and strong sense of curiousity about the dark shadowy corners of our world.
Have you read this one? What did you think?

The X-files is still one of my favorite series EVER ! I love to watch re-runs of the "monster" episodes, but I don't find the "conspiracy" episodes quite as watchable in retrospect.
To me, the best episodes were the funnier ones, like "The Unusual Suspects" and "Small Potatoes". The one with the lake monster, where Scully and Mulder are stuck on the island all night, is just brilliant. Love the cameo appearance by Luke Wilson in "Bad Blood", too.
A literary tie-in to the series that many fans are not aware of: William Gibson, of "Neuromancer" fame wrote two X-Files episodes: "Kill Switch" and "First Person Shooter".
