Is there any way I can make a LaTeX document look less like a wall of text? This is Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, I just used the basic article class. I don't know much about book formatting. Should I just put line breaks between the paragraphs?

Stop using LaTeX, this isn't a physics paper. Use Word or OpenOffice, instead.

Why don't you make me, faggot.

Anyway I kind of made it better.

LaTeX was ideal for just grabbing the text from Gutenberg and quickly making it into a pdf.

You know, you can do Export>Export as PDF/XPS on Word, it takes less than a minute and you can adjust font/size/interline/paragraph break as you wish. I can hardly see where LaTeX would be convenient except for mathematical expressions writing and formatting.

Anon is right, this is purely text, no figures, no special formatting... there's no point in making things hard on yourself

Use a different class, this looks like the standard class you're using, which is really physics/science geared

For books I'd recommend classicthesis http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/classicthesis/
