Iain M Banks’ Look to Windward has descriptive passages that are just paragraph after paragraph made up of single long sentences. I just counted one at 113 words. You can’t actually read these beasts. You just have to let all the adjectives and nouns kinda imprint your brain.

IMO the essentials are Player of Games and Use of Weapons, but Hydrogen Sonata is def up there too.
