David Michael Swindle 🌀🟦 (@godofthedesert): "Few people have discovered the joy of reading slow. It’s like walking through the park instead of sprinting. I rediscovered it last year with Alan Moore’s work. His prose is so elaborate and complex that he forces you to slow down and take in one sentence at a time."
