The timeline (timeLime) is a bit strange, but i saw this as an opportunity to see if I could spot any trends in my fifteen books project. the main one that became clear was an overabundance of “Beat” Generation, and other basic categories. I grouped the books by color/genre and spatially, and noticed that all but one or two fit into the basic eras and areas. You’ll also note the presence of some rather chaotic looking lines near the bottom of the arch. These are not random, but represent the authors lifespan. So each line shows, at a glance, how long each one lived (note that the time scale follows both the length of the arc [MDCC = 1800, MM = 2000], and also the horizontal and vertical). This allowed me to place the books not only in ranges along the arch, but show roughly where in their life they wrote the book that I included. For instance, J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye was written when he was in his 20’s, but he continues to live today. The straight green line entangled with the line connecting the lime epoch to his portrait shows this.
