I do read stories that squick me, especially if the story is intriguing or the writing is good. But if I know ahead of time that something is likely to squick me, I'll avoid it, sometimes to my detriment. The more I think about the word "squick" the more it seems like a big tangled-up knot of different reactions, not all of them unpleasant. Or maybe that's just me.
With UATRA, I think I got a little squicked out after the fact. Maybe because it hit close to home. Somewhat similar to reading Take Clothes Off As Directed - I went into kind of a mental tailspin for about a week after reading that.
