I don't have the book, but the copy I borrowed and read was:
Adorno, Theodor
Minima Moralia
New York: Verso, 1978
251 pp.
I forgot to make a note of the translator. I assume, though, with my
fingers crossed, that we're all using the same text, even if it has gone
through more than one edition.
As for memorable passages, I can barely make head or tail out of my barely
legible notes. However, the facet of Adorno's thought that most
consistently captured my attention, because it is most relevant to my
concerns, is Adorno's remarks on intellectual life and the division of
labor. Here is a list of section headings of the most noteworthy passages
(followed by pages numbers of the edition I used.)
#1 (21), 79 (122-123), 83 (128-131), 86 (132-133), 87 (133-134)
