"Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs on hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate—he has little success in this—but with the other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different (and more) things than do the others; after all, dead as he is in his own lifetime, he is the real survivor. This assumes that he does not need both hands, or more hands than he has, in his struggle against despair."--Kafka

逛書展

家住太子,已經常常逛書店,書展對我來說沒有吸引力。只是因為在灣仔區工作友人下班,致電找我,剛巧我也離開辦公室,就這樣,我來到灣仔區,並以逛書展來打發無聊的下午。
啊,有董啟章X黃念欣講文學館的講座,其實好想去,不過一方面我沒有上網訂座,另一方面也不想友人陪我去這種講座,就作罷。
其實不太喜歡逛書展,人多擠迫,我會頭痛,而且我覺得要買書的話就去書店,可能在書展買書折扣多一點,但省下那一元八角,不值得,不過今次我還是忍不住手買了幾本書,尤其是以$150買到馬家輝「我們」、「你們」、「他們」,附送2009年版「女兒情」,每本只需不足$40,我可是凡夫俗子,清高是扮不來的。
書展最吸引之處,可能是那一堆堆專門書籍,烹飪的,設計的,小手工的,包羅萬有,真的有趣極了。
沒逛文藝館,有點遺憾,其實書展其實不是重點,重點是,在這抑鬱和炎熱的下午,我感到做了我應做的事情。
