Hectic is a temporary (and unwanted) condition to be survived and quickly remedied... not sought out.

We are alike, it seems.
If my life ever gets to the point where I only have time to read something the size of an internet article, it's a problem in need of fixing, not something to adapt to.
To go back to the OP:

Can you still consume dense prose and convoluted sentences with relish? (assuming you ever did!)

I don't think I ever did, really. Sure, I
can read dense and convoluted but I'm a visual reader so if the style interferes with the visuals in my head, it's just not as enjoyable for me. I've always been that way. Now, some "dense" prose fits my style just fine, so I guess it's more accurately a matter of author voice rather than the number or size of the words and the complexity of sentence construction.
I object to the term "serious reading" (from the article title). What does that even
mean?
