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.

Did you leave a letter off the end of the last name?
1:50.30 with caeveat that I guessed the author’s last name, and it appears that the last letter is missing.
Yes, it should end in another “J”. No big deal though, didn’t figure in the solve, at least for me.
Right, but I was timing my completion, and without the final letter it’s an usual name in English, with the final letter, it’s common, so it made me hesitate.
oops!
Last letter of the author's name is missing.

Yeah. SORRY ABOUT THAT.
Sometimes I have problems copying and pasting.
I took a break from them for awhile, but I've been back to doing them daily again with my morning coffee.

Last 2 letters of 3rd word.
Most common letter, first word.
5th word.
Off to the races.
OK, I think we can grant a 5 sec time deduction for that. :)
