I've read Das Capital, two translations, one UK and one US English. Yea they are slightly different. I've also read Dianetics. I also studied the bible in a Jesuit school. (The Jesuits also made us read Das Capital, where I first read it, to pull the Christian themes out of the work.)

Capital has a few nuggets of good info around justifications and sidesteps into the weeds. It is almost like reading Atlas Shrugged; there is a good point in there somewhere wrapped around nuttery and literary masterbation.
