I'm not sure how to explain this, exactly, but when I read Jon Fosse's Septology, I was completely taken in by his long sentences. I'm looking for books that have a similar propulsiveness to the prose.
Fosse has this hypnotic thing going on with those endless flowing sentences that just pull you along. You might want to check out Clarice Lispector – her stuff has this dreamlike rhythm that gets under your skin in similar way. Also maybe look at some Cormac McCarthy, his prose has different kind of musicality but still that relentless forward motion.
