2023 TBR Declutter Challenge - hosted by buggy

A Big Book.
Big being defined by you! These ones have a way of sneaking onto shelves and taking up precious real estate for years.

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.
