Dan and I are both voracious readers.  We read in the evening lying down on
the lower bunk.  I've attached a gooseneck halogen light to the rear of the
rear closet, so that I can bend it down and over the two of us.  It provides
ample light to read for two, and can be easily bent to adjust the light from
side to side.

You may consider installing one of these gooselights on the pillar near the
rear seat, or near the passenger seat.
