Anons, I'm looking for some book
recommendations.
A great escape of sorts? One day, just leaving everything behind. Your family, your house, your job.
An adventure book I guess you could call it.
I just want to escape from my life, I would like to read about others who have done the same.

Its not 100% a guy leaving his family behind but I recommend Beasts, Men and Gods, it inspired me to go outside more and I hope it inspires you too OP

Nemesis by Isaac Asimov
The Alchemist. The writing is nearly as basic as possible for the English language (it's also a translation from Portuguese). You can likely read it in a day or two. Despite the pleb level difficulty it affected me deeply. If you only read for difficulty you're a faggot anyway.

While I agree, no matter how many times one has read it, it should be recommended and promptly re-read on this board, I would say that it's not exactly what OP is seeking.
Moby-Dick doesn't give much background to Ishmael, and he leaves temporarily (or at least that is what was intended), just a sort of get-a-way vacation involving the harpooning of whales with queer men.

You have just described the plot of Magic Kingdom For Sale.
