I'm only a couple hundred pages in, but if you've read any continental philosophy before, you should be able to handle it. It definitely takes focus and could use brevity in places, but his poeticism and the diversity of materials he references make it worth it. I've heard similar things and while there is some dry economics, it's not nearly as rough as I was expecting. I'm also reading David Harvey's companion to Capital, which helps. I prefer it to the manifesto so far, Marx is better when he has space to breathe.
