FYI I picked up the Penguin Classics edition with the 186 page introduction. That way we aren't just reading the relatively dry manifesto itself.

I'm looking for a Kindle version and noticed they have several. Most versions seem to range from 30- 70 pages. Can that be right?

The intro you're going to read is many times longer than the actual book?

Jumping on board for the read of Communist Manifesto. Read it once in college, but looking forward to reading again.

Yes, the introduction to the Penguin edition is basically its own book and filled with a lot of really good commentary. I think it will allow for better discussion that the manifesto itself. The question is whether to read the manifesto first or the introduction first.
