I finished the Neapolitan Novels yesterday and it's one of those series that just kind of sticks in your mind.
My reactions on finishing the books:
My Brilliant Friend: I had to stare at a wall for a while, angry.
The Story of a New Name: staring at my coffee for a while, incredibly sad.
Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay: oh no.
The Story of the Lost Child: Lila was right.

"Eliminating herself was a sort of aesthetic project. One can't go on anymore, she said, electronics seems so clean and yet it dirties, dirties tremendously, and it obliges you to leave traces of yourself everywhere as if you were shitting and peeing on yourself continuously: I want to leave nothing, my favorite key is the one that deletes."
