I need a book to escape the monotony of COVID-19. Thinking of something like a lost at sea story, but open to your suggestions. HN readers always have the best recommendations.

Why not start with the tome of "Covid is a Lie" written beautifully by the late A.W.All.

You could also try the excellent "1984" written by the since canceled George Orwell.

Try Oscar Wilde, if you like victorian english high society and their affairs.
