Reading Volumes 1, 2, and 3 in one year. This will repeat yearly until communism is achieved. (Volume IV, often published under the title Theories of Surplus Value, will not be included, but comrades are welcome to set up other bookclubs.) This works out to about 6½ pages a day for a year, 46 pages a week.
-
I’ll post the readings at the start of each week and @mention anybody interested. Discuss the week’s reading in the comments.
-
Use any translation/edition you like.

marxists.org is an excellent place to read this for free. They even offer it in various formats including ePub, which you can read on your e-reader including Kindles. I much prefer using my e-reader so I can easily save highlights (lots of goodies in Capital).
There are occasional typos — I have had success getting these corrected by emailing this legend

Prolewiki is better because there are no stealth edits by deranged trots
