So, who read L. Frank Baum's Oz books as a kid? I recently went back and read the second and third books in the series (Land and Ozma, respectively) after watching that "Return to Oz" movie.
Land of Oz is Weird, and the people who have read it should know why.
ITT, Oz and it's bordering countries.

Ozma is my personal favorite, for Tik-Tok and for not replacing Dorothy with some lame other hero, but I haven't read them for years.

That Return to Oz movie freaked the fuck out of me.

It's hilarious how much the Wizard of Oz movie over-wrote the book. It's like the first book was never even written.
A friend of mine didn't even know that the Wizard of Oz was a long-running series of books until we watched Return to Oz (for the freak-out factor) and I explained where various things in the plot were cannibalized from and changed around.
