dunno, i forced myself to read through capital v1 because of org educational requirements and still got a ton out of it. admittedly i'd already read a bunch of capital illustrated, capital abridged books before that, which made it easier imo and of course there is a ton that i didn't get and ill have to re-read w/ footnotes, patience etc, but i was actually surprised that a quick read of capital is a) possible b) worth it. now hegel on the other hand...
