What people on Hacker News said
I read The Wizard of Oz at least 5 times and the whole 12 books series three times.
It is like a loving mother reading to you while you're comfy in bed.
She does different voices for the main characters, so she has her scarecrow voice and her Wicked Witch of the West voice.
As I grew older, "The Wizard of Oz" moved into the front.
There's never been another movie remotely like it, before or since.
