It's now 10pm of Jul 22, when the Book Fair is open to the public for free. Heard from radio that the queue is long. I wonder: people go to the book fair for books, or for shopping?
Many of the people, especially the young ones go to the book fair for book "written" by celebrities, or some even go to buy cute stationery. I was specially glad when I went last night that the booth of PageOne and some other big book stores were crowded - as there was no books written by Shephie or Ekin etc. People visiting those booths should be really looking for real books.
So now, the people waiting hours outside just want to enjoy the free entrance, are they really going to get books for their knowledge or simply for entertainment? I don't know ...
People once said whoever has a mouth / a voice can be a singer. Now I wanna say people whoever has a mouth can also be a writer, or what we call in cantonese 才子 / 才女???
