  1. Data:

    Biased, not random selection (no currently living authors included)

    Visualisation:

    MS Excel used to aggregate the data

    Python and Plotly used to graph

  2. Is the line of best fit exactly horizontal or does it tilt upwards at least a little bit in recent years?

  3. What tf is this lmao? Seems like interesting data but presently so unintuitively. If your axis label looks like a formula, you’re probably doing something wrong

  4. Keats is off the bottom of the chart like the Washington Wizards on some chart of metrics against the rest of the NBA

  5. It bugs me that the title states “select authors”. In other words, why these authors? It looks like you just selected them from an article listing their favorite authors, so why a connection to life expectancy? And it doesn’t look like you included all from the list.
