The Effect of Long Paragraphs on the Experience of Reading

Short paragraphs make the text feel like it's fast moving and inviting, making you less likely to put the book down. Longer sentences balance mobility of carrying less with substance of carrying more. When your paragraphs are too short, it's almost like you're trying to bring the groceries in one item at a time. Something just starts to feel kind of insubstantial and absurd about what you're doing.
