Bryan Appleyard's website is great, with many of his articles, and a particularly funny spiel on his page of links:
"Internet “bookmarks” or “favourites” have – along with iPod playlists and eBay auctions – become contemporary character attributes replacing star signs, favourite colours and taste in clothes. These new self-signifiers are much more exact than the old ones and much more easily shared. At the same time, they are more random and capricious. They may change daily and they may simply be the result of idle browsing. This is, of course, in the post-modern context, fair enough. Who believes in stable selves any more? Anyway, here are some links. I will not explain them and, it goes without saying, they are not “self”-explanatory."
