"Text wall" is a term that describes [user-generated content](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User-generated_content) in internet forums or on social media sites that take longer to read than the average [eight second attention span](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/03/12/humans-have-shorter-attention-span-than-goldfish-thanks-to-smart/) of internet users. The common reply to a "text wall" is "[TL;DR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TL;DR)". I never read more than the question title on this site and have never read any of Mark Baker's answers. There is no such thing as a "text wall" in a book.
