Wow, that's wild. Certain rooms do that to me. In the house where I grew up it was the upstairs room. (It wasn't the stairs themselves; no other stairs in the house did it) In our current home it's the basement. Sadly those rooms are not filled with books.

I can't tell if it's a statistically real effect. I had always told myself it was not real, but having heard of "Marikio Aoki" phenomenon for the first time just now, I'm wondering...

I have a workshop that I credit with the same effect. Every trip to the workshop is at least two trips, because I'm interrupted.

Also I associate this with gambling, no matter the stakes or the location, including locations that don't trigger any response in different contexts (like my living room).

Glad to know I'm not completely alone....
