Bedside lamps are a must for book lovers, and the more control you have over the light the better, get one with a dimmer switch, make sure you cannot see the bulb directly and while your at it, why not add a swivel arm to the lamps, certainly gives you a lot more flexibility! Apart from that, think about your partner, there again, purchase one of the ilumi bulbs and I think all your problems will be resolved ;)
