2023 TBR Declutter Challenge - hosted by buggy

A classic that's been gathering dust.
Everyone has a classic they've been meaning to read for years and years right? No? Just me? 

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.
