What I’ve taken to is using my LED headlamp for reading at night. If you don’t mind having one strapped to your head, it can be the perfect solution. I like the Petzl Tikka XP, which gives very even light when the diffusion filter is engaged. Once it’s adjusted on your head, you don’t have to worry about coverage (the light follows where ever you look) or having to deal with something hanging off your book. I use the low setting and a red filter on mine, which make the light even less intrusive for my girlfriend when she falls asleep before I do (the clear filter is more natural, though).
