What is the brightness of the moon during the month?

The article has moves to my new site. Don't worry, you will be redirected shortly!

A full moon is very bright. So bright that you can read a book by its light. The moon the day before or after is almost as bright, at least it seems to be perfectly round and only a fraction of a percent is not lit, so how much can the brightness change? Actually a lot. Similarly, half moon, is not half the brightness of a full moon but much much less.
