Is there any way I can make a LaTeX document 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?

Looks good to me farn

increase line-height?
>>54524632
add a carriage return between paragraphs?
>>54524662
How's this?

That's better, OP. The Meditations book I have has each meditation in a separate paragraph like that.

No, that is considered bad form. The text looks fine like it is. It's just text, so it will look exactly like that, I don't see the problem.
Anyway, maybe you'd like to set it in two columns:\usepackage{multicol}
[…]
\begin{multicols}{2}
%text
\end{multicols}

It looks dense and trudging through it fatigues me. I'll try the 2col thing later.

Welcome to LaTeX. what you posted originally is the norm.

Why does everyone in academia use it then? I don't mean custom formats for journals like IEEE, but every thesis I've seen is pretty much this plain format.

the amazing embedded formula support along with some interesting formatting support that will be consistent in different places in the document
