2023 TBR Declutter Challenge - hosted by buggy

A low star prediction.
Hey, I've been there. A book you dread reading, but feel compelled to read anyways? Who knows, you may surprise yourself! Or not. .. :)

If you pick one up and realize it doesn't interest you, get rid of it! 
Continue to do this until you've found one you're actually interested in investing several hours of your life into, or until you no longer own a book that fits this prompt.
