Everything about this project was meta-interesting. I feel like someone could write a very entertaining NYT piece about this project. If this was not posted on HN, I would think the narrative was bogus. However, being posted on HN, I doubt you are feigning hopeless romanticism.

P.S. I am half-convinced XKCD started for a similar reason. http://xkcd.com/55/

I'm flattered that you think that! As embarrassing as it is, I'm really as dorky as described.

I once bought a girl I was semi-obsessed a six-volume set of a series about WWI published three years after WWI. She was a FP nut, so I thought it was cool. I did so even though I knew she was taking a plane the next day. I even wrote a good essay length inscription, informing her that she was awesome.

Sometimes, it's fun to say f*ck rationality. Good luck to you, sir.

Did it work? Was she touched?

I found it in an antique bookstore near Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. (where I live.) I forget the name.

You're probably talking about Second Story Books & Antiques at 20th & P St. http://www.secondstorybooks.com/

That's the one. Dupont is pretty fantastic for books and girls.

I know that place. It's a pretty good place to meet women, if I recall.

I wouldn't be surprised. I started writing stories for fun when I broke up with a girl, and I'm still sticking with it. It's almost like these crushes supply a kind of necessary activation energy for some large projects.
