Challenging little Cryptogram, unless you can guess the author right out of the box, then it’s a piece of apple pie.

4 minutes is very good.
3 minutes is excellent
2 minutes outstanding

Congratulations to

on making it “again” to the 2 minute club yesterday. I try to keep up on this. If you’ve beaten the 2 minute clock on solving a CG please let me know!

About 90 sec.

Inspection — first two words.
Grammar — 3rd word.
8th or 9th word (3 letters, you know the first, and last two letters are the same).
Author’s name.
Off to the races.

Wild guesses on the short words led to the finish line.

First, fourth, and eight words, and then the author. Very quick.
