I think I found a contender for the worlds longest run on sentence.

Looks like the OP clicked the "link" button for creating a link and pasted the address for the text and left the URL as the default.

Copying and pasting the link still works.

fair enough, but as far as literary run-on sentences I would have gone with Henry James. Joyce pretty much abandoned sentence structure entirely from Ulysses on, or rather created his own. run-on doesn't really apply in stream of consciousness.

The theory, anyway, is that no one thinks in complete sentences, or even speaks in complete sentences. Hence, stream of consciousness.

My favorite is actually Thomas Hobbes; Leviathan has sentences in it that go on for pages and pages, remaining grammatically accurate through an abundance of semi-colons and em-dashes, but losing all semblance of comprehensibility by virtue of being so brobdingnagian in scale.
