The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Clever move there misspelling the name beyond recognition.
Got everything but the author’s last name. It appears it contains an extra letter. His middle name appears to have been Americanized.

Most common letter, 3rd word, 2nd word, 7th word, off to the races.
2+2 = -5 + 9/2 + 9/2
2+2 = -5 + 9
2+2 = 4
which I admit, while accurate, is not as much fun as your result

I’m playing this game under protest. The name of the author appears to be botched.
Yes there are two problems with the author’s name
Known in academia as proof by errata.
Yeah the flux capacitor guy spells his name differently.
I’m not enough of a mathematician to be fooled by that
