| Number Study from The Adults by Alison Espach |
As an avid reader of many subjects, I tend to navigate my way around the pages of literature with general ease and comprehension. On occasion, however, I find myself on a detour when I see an interesting font choice for relaying a story. Most often the chapter and page numbers pique my curiosity, the way they interact with each other, every other page a new exciting combination graces the typically insignificant corners. From here it moves into a recognition of a single letter (a lowercase "g"; a capital "W") and continues to spread from letter to letter to word to sentence to pages to chapters...
At some point I come out of the stupor and realize that I have no recollection of any information presented in the last few pages (a blackout if you will). Naturally, I reread the passage and all is well, but my addiction to the printed word is merely temporarily suppressed.
