Faulkner was an amateur. Try picking up "The Ticket That Exploded," "The
Soft Machine," "The Job" or a number of other books by William S.
Burroughs, and you'll find run-on sentences as long as 10 pages.

(Yes, he's related to the Burroughs calculator and computer firms -- his
grandfather invented the hydraulic piston which made the adding machine
possible.)
