Should I take AP Literature?

Picking my senior year classes, and this is my only question mark at the moment. I’ve considered taking an Honors/AP english class basically every year in high school, but never have (yeah, no AP Language). However, I’ve heard that this is the class for people that actually really enjoy reading. I love reading. My main problem with english has been the fact that we read books that, quite frankly, suck.
I digress, without AP Lit I have three APs set up for next year: Physics C, Calc BC, and Economics. That’s 5 AP tests (oh joy), so I’m not sure how much I’d want to add another one. Besides, I’m more worried that the workload my senior year may ruin any potential fun I could have.
That being said, having one less english class to take in college would be amazing. Being able to focus on my science/math classes would be glorious (going into engineering), so I’d like to get this out of the way ASAP.
So, the tl;dr…
Should I take AP Lit?
How difficult would you say it is?

Thanks for any help!
