Chapters have names

Sounds great. I was put off by the title. It's not pretentious, is it?
I might add it to my reading list.

I mean he's opinionated and criticizes those who think they know how the world should be run (why I enjoyed it). His stance is more that change (decadence) will happen and you can't really do anything about it. Even though he's sad that his classical non-technological world is gone, he accepts and welcomes it still. (He wrote the book at 90+.)
And, that all major writers throughout history has complained about their own cultural "decadence".

Thanks, user, sounds like something I'd like to read.

>book's title is incomplete
>every chapter title, in sequence, is the full title of the book

> first chapter's name is the name of the book
> other chapters do nothing to expand on the theme of the first chapter
> it's a collection of unrelated essays
> only realized that after i read the author's diary

>album
>name of the album is name of song from previous album
>Lyric is name from later album
>They're based on russian literature

Chapter names always appealed to me, but I'm unironically afraid that they seem somewhat juvenile so I never bother thinking up any.

>book has pages

I don't think there's a point unless the title is used to hint towards something or to highlight a change in perspective. RL Stevenson was the master at this.

>chapters are numbered
>pages are numbered
>the book is a number in a set of the total numbers of the book
>wordcount

It's like numbers are everywhere these days
