Me neither. Though on a related front:

"The greatest difficulties - theoretical and otherwise - standing in
the way of reading Volume I easily are unfortunately (or perhaps
fortunately) all to be found right at he beginning of Volume I, more
precisely in Chapter I of Part I, which deals with 'commodities and
money'. My advice therefore is - begin with reading Part II of Volume I
entitled 'The Transformation of Money into Capital'. It is not possible
in my view to begin (and only to begin) to understand Part I without
having read and re-read the whole of Volume I from Part II onwards."

        from, http://www.generation-online.org/p/fpalthusser11.htm

Althusser discusses the difficulties of reading Volume 1 sequentially
but doesn't seem to mention beginning with Vols. 2 or 3.

Comradely regards,
Marc
