Reply to Subversive Literature Iceberg - From the Obvious to the Obscure: Mapping the Depths of Subversive Literature by CloudAndSea
Definitely interesting to see which books were included in this iceberg. Maybe I am getting "subversive" mixed up with "disturbing" though, and I've read more from the bottom tiers than the tops. Of all Palahniuk's books, Snuff is most disturbing but I'd think Survivor and Fight Club are more subversive. Totally not meaning to rank books against each other, I'm just in a Readers' Advisory course and learning how to describe and suggest books for others.

Sometimes I find that the parallel play aspect of some ASMR study videos can help bring my mind back to reading mode once it starts to wander. Some days it just makes me sleepy, or it's overstimulating, but is worth trying out.
