今天才知道，旺角文星書店因租金上漲已於上星期結業(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/jw!wBRN7HGeGQO_ppeW9LNTriSxblawbIc-/article?mid=33347)，太令人可惜了。我以前常逛文星，現在香港又少了一間書店，此後我又少了一個去處。
兩星期前，我在序言書店和梅馨書店看書看久了，趕著去和同學聚舊，沒有按計劃一併到附近的文星看看。沒想到一個錯落竟成永別！
記得我高考放榜那年，文星在新蒲江的倉庫開倉大減價，我去了兩回，買了二三十本書，獲益至今。
近年來較少在文星買書，最後一次大約是兩個月前，買了中英對照的王爾德的《自深深處》(Oscar Wilde, De Profundis)。
想起之前青文老板羅志華在去年除夕前整理書籍，卻不幸被書壓死，過了兩星期才被發現的黑色新聞。(http://big5.xinhuanet.com/gate/big5/www.gx.xinhuanet.com/newscenter/2008-04/12/content_12920884.htm)
文星有20多年歷史，被喻為是簡體字書店的龍頭，旺角的城市中心更被指是香港的書城，「家連文星都執笠，呢個書城都會散檔」，文化人指。
難道，這就是香港二樓書店和愛書人的命運?!
Man Shing Bookstore closed its business last week! I knew this bad news until today. This is a bookstore I usually go when I go to Mongkok. I've bought many books from Man Shing and I am still benefited from them.
I'm regret now because two weeks ago I spent too much time in other bookstores that I don't have time to go to Man Shing.
The last book I bought from Man Shing is Oscar Wilde's De Profundis.
This piece of new reminds me of another bad news about half a year ago, which a well known second floored bookstore boss was buried by heavy books fell down accidentally, and he was found dead two weeks later after the accident.
I can't accept this is the fate of the second floored bookstroes in HK and the fate of book lovers.
