That’s awesome. The only thing I caution is reading by low light under the covers can do eye strain damage. My wife’s family has perfect vision mostly but my wife, who did exactly what you son did, for like 10 years, has such terrible vision her contact prescription is like -11 or something insane.

Maybe if he’s gonna stay up reading he can turn the overhead lights on or something? Just a word of caution - congrats on getting that love of reading instilled. My wife is incredibly successful and it’s definitely due to her incredibly voracious reading abilities so I’m not trying to scare you away from supporting your sons books books books mentality.

You would be able to scare us away from supporting his desire to read even if you were trying to. We definitely know about taking care of our eyes though as my wife and I both have had eye issues so we are doing everything we can to be safe.

The "Itty-bitty book light" is perfect for reading in bed. It clips to the book and shines directly on the pages.
