香港的書店有一個現象:書店中,永遠有很多人,書架都被人牆重重圍住,想看書一定要「攝」身進去,大家在翻呀翻看呀看,付款時也永遠要排隊……
可是,實際上香港的讀書風氣真的那麼好嗎?香港的書市、出版業真的那麼欣欣向榮嗎?答案是絕對否定的。
這天傍晚百無聊賴、八八卦卦,「捕」在某大書店的付款處附近,抽樣調查,看看大家在買些甚麼書。
一位師奶,買了兩三本薄裝的食譜。食譜、旅遊、地圖這類實用工具書,永遠有市場,長出長有。可是,嚴格來說,我個人不會把它們列入為「精神食糧」的類別;它們有「書」的形,卻不是我那本「書」。
一位OL,買了本厚厚的《達文西密碼》,我馬上冷冷一笑。現在才來趕這個風潮,實在是比搭尾班車還要遲!如果她買的是前傳《天使與魔鬼》,也釦琲滲漱~不會那麼冷。但無論如何,我也不認為她會把該書全本讀得完;我估計,五十頁。
有位女學生買了三幾本粉色的書:以美女插圖做封面、作者名字永遠兩個字、書名讀出來露骨得嚇死人那些。別誤會,不是亦舒或瓊瑤;她兩是名作家,那些只是無名的寫手。
這就是香港的書市,看不下去了。
