It's one of the best books I've read. If you're interested in literary and cultural history of course. It's both introductory, and revealing forgotten names and practices.
And all the parts with sections, and their own subsections . . . Makes sense and eases the reading.

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".

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

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.
