Challenge
Plotting Popular Authors' Readability Statistics
Overview
In this challenge we'll create a visualization that presents data about the readability of the top ten authors.
The data set provided for this module is separated into two main CSV files - one called
titles.csv
, and the other calledstats.csv
. Each file was created using data compiled from Project Gutenberg.This data has been joined together and is stored in a variable called
books
.We will filter the
books
data frame to only include the works of the top ten authors and then plot it using theggplot2
package.We will use the tidyverse collection of packages. For more on the tidyverse and its opinionated design philosophy, grammar, and data structures see Tidyverse. ### Solution The solution can be found in the

directory.
