Today's Pop Quiz: Name that Work
Below is the opening sentence from an important work, one that I am coincidentally teaching in one of my classes beginning this week.

Pretty sure that's from Kafka's The Trial.
As a student of yours from about four years ago, I'm glad I ran across the new blog recently. I wish I had more time to read about economics & philosophy. But, for now, yours and a few other blogs scratch the itch.
Well, since it took a whole five minutes to figure that out, I guess I'll have to give harder "quizzes" in the future!
Great to hear from you once again, Mr. Wyatt!
Ah, he stole my guess. Seriously.
Guess a student of yours from ten years ago couldn't hope to keep up with a young buck from only four years ago.
