Abstract
In recent years, geek culture has emerged as a new counterculture. Through geek culture, CONS and book clubs that engage in the study of diverse comics and Young Adult speculative fiction novels have emerged as a way to discuss controversial issues involving still-marginalized texts. This is an autoethnography with narrative inquiry methods in which I study two CONS and one independent bookshop and their literary events, along with congruent online affinity spaces, to improve my engagement with these texts. From a feminist poststructuralist perspective, I describe my and others experiences with these texts in affinity spaces in order to show how these practices can carry over into more traditional school settings.
