Typo it was, but I laughed when I proofread, so it stayed.
When I had my tonsils out (and some ear surgery as well at the same time) when I was nine, one of my aunts gave me a copy of Charlotte’s Webb. I remember it hurt to cry when I got to the end. Since then, I’ve found E. B. White’s writings on his dachshunds, and as a longtime dachshund “mom” I loved those books/essays.
One of his more famous quotes:
Being the owner of Dachshunds, to me a book on dog discipline becomes a volume of inspired humor. Every sentence is a riot. Some day, if I ever get a chance, I shall write a book, or warning, on the character and temperament of the Dachshund and why he can’t be trained and shouldn’t be. I would rather train a striped zebra to balance an Indian club than induce a Dachshund to heed my slightest command. When I address Fred I never have to raise either my voice or my hopes. He even disobeys me when I instruct him in something he wants to do.
I read Charlotte’s Web on my own, but it was because I had seen Charlotte's Web (1973 film) - Wikipedia.
I will have a blackberry scone, please.
I was exposed to Charlotte’s Web in elementary school, but I didn’t read it. The teacher read it aloud to the class.
I don’t remember how many times I’ve read LOTR. I don’t think it’s as many as ten, though I’m sure it’s more than once. There doesn’t seem to be an option for ‘several times, I didn’t keep count.’
I picked ‘scone’, but actually it would depend on what mood I was in. However, the poll says ‘start with’, so maybe I can have one of each? (Quiet, dietician. I’ll be happy to have something proteiney with them.)
I know a croissant is a crescent-shaped thing, and a scone is … something else, but that’s about all I could tell you about them. If I’ve ever eaten either one, I don’t remember it.
“Scone” is British for “dry, dense, unflaky biscuit.” They can be quite nice, but you either need to spread something on them or have them alongside something to drink.
Good butter or Jam works, but trying to choke one down dry is- not advised.
Irish butter and marmalade on my scone, if you please. But I chose croissant because a genuine one, well-made, is shatteringly delicious. It doesn’t need anything with it.
I find it curious that about there are about the same number of responses from people who never read LOTR as from people who have read it at least ten times.
I know we have a significant cluster of serious Tolkien fans here. 
If I can’t get an oatmeal maple scone (they haven’t had them in Starbucks – where I used to get them – for decades), I’ll go for a croissant. Almond, please.
I’ve read a ton of fantasy, but I tried and could never get involved with LOTR. And the one movie I tried to watch put me to sleep (twice).
It really depends on my mood whether i want the scone or the croissant. For a while, i walked past an excellent bakery on the way to work, and bought breakfast there. It was usually a butter croissant, but sometimes it was the lemon ginger scone. And a good scone is very “short”, and there’s no “choking down”. They are just delicious. But a lot sweeter than the croissant, and i some always want sweet.
I’ll have a scone.
But… i don’t care what type, which doesn’t appear to be an option.
I voted croissant, but I’d happily take a scone, too. Or a bagel. Or a doughnut. Or even a dang piece of toast.
mmm
The ones I’ve had in the USA have been entirely edible all on their own; and quite good.
Maybe British ones are different.
I generally don’t read books more than once. I should since I don’t remember them after. LOTR is one of the few that I have read again. I think I read it three times over the years.
Plain croissant with butter for me, please. Now please tell me about your selection of jams and jellies.
I love scones ever since I discovered them years ago. And I love using clotted cream as a spread.
I first read LotR when I was about 17. It profoundly influenced my life. I don’t know who I’d be if I had never read it. I lost track decades ago of exactly how many times I read it, but it’s been at least 30. I’ve also read the complete 12-volume The History of Middle-Earth at least 10 times.
