These books all had island settings as a significant part of the story, even though the entire story was not based on the island:
The Life of Pi Actually, I didn't like the part on the island -- I thought it dragged on too long.
The Phantom Tollbooth Where "Conclusions" is an island that you get to by jumping; once there, it is difficult to get back.
The Raw Shark Texts where real and imaginary islands are key to the plot
Skinny Dip which is hilarious with or without the island
Monkey Beach
