Two of my favorite 5-star reads this year have a great deal to say about authoritarianism, “implicit submission,” resistance, and our shared humanity. I know I will be thinking about both of these works in 2026: The World of Yesterday (1942) by #StefanZweig (nonfiction) and Sunrise on the Reaping (2025) by #SuzanneCollins (fiction). #Books #Bookstodon

From 2013:
#DonaldSutherland: 'I want #HungerGames to stir up a #revolution'
by Rory Carroll
November 2013"Donald Sutherland wants to stir revolt. A real revolt. A youth-led uprising against #injustice that will overturn the US as we know it and usher in a kinder, better way. 'I hope that they will take action because it's getting drastic in this country.' Drone strikes. #Corporate tax dodging. #Racism. The #Keystone oil pipeline. Denying #FoodStamps to 'starving Americans'. It's all going to pot. 'It's not right. It's not right.'
"Millennials need awakening from slumber. 'You know the young people of this society have not moved in the last 30 years.' With the exception of #Occupy, a minority movement, passivity reigns. "They have been consumed with telephones. The voice hardens. 'Tweeting.'
"We are high up in a Four Seasons hotel overlooking Beverly Hills, sunlight glinting off mansions and boutiques below, an unlikely cradle of revolution. Sutherland, resplendent in a dark suit and red tie, is pushing 80. But he is quite serious about the call to arms. 'We did it in '68.'
"The Canadian actor has a venerable record of #leftwing #activism dating back to support for the #BlackPanthers and opposition to the #VietnamWar, but this latest foray into subversion dovetails with promoting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second installment in a series of four films based on Suzanne Collins's bestselling novels for young adults. It takes forward the story of Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, who must fight other oppressed proles to the death as part of a tyrannical government's strategy of rule through fear.
"The dystopia, called Panem, is built on the ashes of the US, and Sutherland wants young audiences to respond to the allegory. 'Hopefully they will see this film and the next film and the next film and then maybe organise. Stand up.'"
