I am looking for a nice book light that can also last me a while. I have one by energizer, and while it's not bad, battery time isn't too great for my liking.

Any recommendations?

I got two USB rechargeable ones. One clips to the book and angles down, but the light drops off too hard so you have to keep adjusting it as you read towards the bottom of the page.

The other is my favorite. It's an adjustable neck ring model. Lots of brands online, all looking the same. Has a lamp on each end of the ring that can be pointed. You can adjust the color warmth and brightness. There's very little light spill so it doesn't disturb anyone else. There's also a 30min auto-shutoff timer in case you fall asleep.

USB charge on both have lasted for 20+ hours each.

    Yeah, the one I have is similar to your first one (about light angle).

    Just found out about neck ring lights, didn't even know they were a thing. How comfortable is it?

    If you sit up while reading, no problem. It just rests on your collarbone. If slightly inclined and on a pillow, it presses against the neck. But it's not uncomfortable.

    I haven't fallen asleep with one yet. Entirely possible it can destroy the vertebrae, lead to full paralysis, and incontinence. I'd be sure to keep the receipt.
