Least amount of reading doesn't mean easiest. For most people, the "difficulty" is how difficult the readings are and how harshly they grade papers.

South & Southeast Asian Studies R5A/R5B was a good series. I only took R5B and it was the most BS class around with Tiwon. There was reading assigned but not necessary to read to do well. But, she is not teaching it anymore, so it may not be easy anymore.

the english courses are broken up into like "writing" or "language" or "literature"...
im guessing a course in writing will involve the least reading to do?

lol stop low balling your effort to sound smarter. You're not as apathetic as you try to put off. First off, you wouldn't have gotten two 5's. Second, you wouldn't even know about this forum, never mind the fact that you're posting threads in it.

Just suck up the english classes that get thrown your way and "inadvertently" earn decent marks.

I would suggest looking for a few that interest you and using pickaprof and/or ratemyprofessor to help you gauge what's "easiest."

But really, English classes are gonna require reading. And chances are, they're going to require a decent amount of it. I mean, they're ENGLISH CLASSES. No matter how much you want to finally get away from it now that you're in college and can pursue your actual interests, you still have a few semesters of breadth/GEs to get through, so you can't really write all that stuff off yet. So the best you can do is find one that interests you that also isn't notoriously difficult or anything.

Whatever you take it'll be called a R&C class R for reading C for composition. You have to do reading and composition together... not one of them... but both.
