Finally, I'll throw in another non-fiction title in addition to the one astrangerhere nominated. This book is An Island to Oneself: The Story of Six Year on a Desert Island by Tom Neale. This stranding is of a self-selected sort. Goodreads 255 pages, 1966, New Zealand

Quote:
What we have all now and then dreamed of doing, Tom Neale did: go and live alone on a desert island. For years while storekeeping in the South Pacific, he planned, read and talked until the great day when he was landed on his little kingdom, aware of (but undismayed by) the fact that he would have to struggle with the full strength of body and mind to survive. Neale's gripping account of his years spent alone on Suvarov is an unforgettable tale of peril, beauty, and solitude.
