Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“He wanted to know the last book I’ve read and all I could think of was Goodnight Moon.” And didn’t your mom read that to you?

That is a really good book! At least they didn’t say Cosmo…
Goodnight Moon is a classic!
Aww Voldemort is really just a big softie = P
Charlie is beating the twitter version of you… I’m not sure which of you is cooler, so I voted both :P
The twitter version of me is fake, VOLDEMORT IS NOT A TWEET WHORE!
Why does this make me a softie? I enjoy fine literature!
voldemort out, bitches!
Wow…I fear for the future
I honestly dont think ive ever actually read that book myself; just heard it. As for the GAM’s, they should at least pick up a picture book to read by themselves…
By the SOUNDS of it, I don’t think he really cared.
HA!
Ooooh, I am sooo sorry you had to listen to that…. ich!
Eeeep.
Honestly, I think the last book I read was “Green Eggs and Ham”…. but I’m a primary school teacher!
GAM read? thats a good one.
Aw, cute.
Last book I read was Mockingjay By Suzanne Collins.
I freaking love that book. (But Catching Fire is better.)
Oh my gosh, I cried so much reading that! Too many amazing people died! And the ending? Horrible.
Gotta love their taste in books.
I liked the ending, but it was kinda cliche.
Wait- the end of Catching Fire or Mockingjay?
I thought the end to mokingjay was quite appropriate and good. it offered a resolution to what happened, and it gave a rather real-life ending of how a person having gone through what Katniss had, would have done. At least in my opinion. It would have been a horrible ending if it was all peachy keen and happy in the end for Katniss. But the reality is that she’s scarred for life, and so it Peeta, but they try to work things out that it’s as normal as it can be for them.
Thank you all for not spoiling the ending as im currently reading it.
AS for best in the series, id say the first one.
Catching Fire is my favorite, and Mockingjay was my least favorite. Not that I thought it was bad, but it was extremely violent. The descriptions were a little too violent for me.
TO EVERYONE READING THIS: if you have not read The Hunger Games trilogy, you must do so. I command you.
That series is awesome!
I’m reading Catching Fire to my students right now. We are determined to finish both before school gets out. They are not much work is getting done. I’m a horrible teacher.
Catching Fire is definitely the best.
I love the Hunger Games series! It’s one of my favourites. =)
Out of the three I would say the first book is the best though.
I prefered the first best. And I got to read Hunger Games and Catching Fire before they were published.
At least it wasn’t “Everybody Poops”
That might not have been published at the time.
Goodnight Moon is the BOMB! … If you’re three.
Or if you’re 20.. 0:)
or if you’re a 15 year-old average person. :)
RIGHT ON!!! Btw, I think I know you, kamella…
not to be creepy or anything… :P
You know me? Really?
yes i think so.. im not sure tho. u sound like someone i know named kamella…
Don’t be silly! They’ve read it more recently then their childhood, it was just last week when they were doing volunteer charity work! Because they can totally read.
I vote that Charlie leaves “War and Peace” (or another some such long book) and leave it on the GAM’s doorstep. Who’s with me?
maybe the Hilary Duff biography would be better(:
Or maybe Rebecca Black’s. She’s 13 and has been famous for a few weeks now. I’m sure there will be a biography or biopic coming out soon!
Or maybe Justin Bieber’s autobiography. Then they could call my ten-yeay-old cousin and squeal about it together.
*year
Why not the whole Harry Potter series? I’m sure the followers of this site would approve.
Fantastic idea Cho!
y e s
Excellent idea! You know, I’m starting to regret hating you in my brief yet glorious term as Hogwarts headmaster.
I’m with you Umbridge, maybe a philosophy book would be good
what about gibbons’ decline and fall of the roman empire. just a few thousand pages worth of light reading.
Wow, PB, my brain hurts just thinking about that.
I agree with Dolores. And also…WOOOWWW. >.< I also have never read the book but I don't think that is up to their reading level…if they have one…
That’s the point. Nonetheless, thank you for agreeing with me.
In her defense, her mom made her point to the words and sound them out!
I wonder if she included books on tape?
And I just finished reading The Pleasure of Find Things Out by Richard P. Feynman. But Goodnight Moon is a wonderful start!
Finishing Crime and Punishment soon! Yay!
Honestly, though, Goodnight Moon was an awesome book XD
Last book I read was “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien. :)
Ah, Goodnight Moon. Such good childhood memories. I actually read that to my baby sister last night, haha.
I read that a few years ago. I have to read it again before the movie comes out!!
That’s the last book I read too! I wanted to read it myself, even though my Dad read it to me years ago.
My little brother went through a face where he would scream every time he was in the car unless one of us read Goodnight Moon to him
a face? lol
I think you mean “phase”.xD
oh my gosh. I definitely need more sleep. I’ve been up really late doing work for the play at my school. (it’s 12:36 am my time and I just got home)
Goodnight Moon was my favorite book when I was little. I wouldn’t go to bed unless my parents read it to me. …that stopped at about 4 years old. The last book I read was “The Diary of Anne Frank” – I can’t believe I waited so long. GAM should try it, too…
When people ask me the last book I read for fun I always get stumped too. I haven’t read a book for fun since August, stupid undergrad taking up my entire life. I think it was the Beothuk Saga or something like that. Ahh CanLit.
Goodnight moon, goodnight air, goodnight GAM everywhere.. :)
Last I read was Sing me Home by Jodi Picoult. <3
was it good? I love Jodi Picoult… Handle with Care was really good too.
My mom stopped reading to me when I was 3 or 4. I basically read to myself. My last book was Affair.
What, no Twilight? I fell like they would like Twilight.
What did the GAM ever do to deserve such a horrible punishment? I wouldn’t wish Twilight on my worst enemy.
Haha, I would never subject them to it, it just seems to fall within their areas of interest and general reading level
(also that first thing I wrote should say feel, not fell)
The first book I ever read on my own was a barbie book >.>
The most recent book I read was an italian text book. The most recent floppy I read was A Separate Peace by John Knowels.
Though in my honest opinion, The Giving Tree beats Goodnight Moon….
The Giving Tree is ten times better.
The Sassy Gay Friend totally fixed the Giving Tree’s life.
Just…just putting that out there.
^LIKE
I absolutely loved A Separate Peace when I read it a few years back.
Charlie, man, I think your land lords got your rent wrong. THEY should be paying YOU to live there.
It blows my mind that these people are actually real
Ha ha, bless them :) The last book I read was The English Patient….I would have preferred to read goodnight moon.
In the great green room, there is a telephone, and a red balloon, and a picture of a cow jumping over the moon…
I think I read this too many time to my kid. I know the damn story by heart.
I read the Dragon Tattoo series
I can’t remember the last book I read for leisure…
Of course, I’m a college student so the last book I read in general was either my Abnormal Psych book or a History of Roman Art by Fred Kleiner.
I’m curious, Charlie. What was the last book YOU’VE read?
maybe the he took her offered title to mean “and so to bed”
Last books I read were the Sookie Stackhouse series. Love love love those books!
Really? Dang the last one I read was the alphabet book… She beat me by like 2 years!
I feel like the story of Charlie and these girls could easily be made into a very entertaining movie!! it’d be hilarious, except in the end of the movie I feel like GAM would have to find out about the site :P hahaha. Come on hollywood, do it! :)
Oh my sweet flying monkey fritters! GAM have read a book that I havn’t! I never read “Goodnight Moon” when I was a child! Oh I’m so deprived!
Ive always appreciated the metaphysical undertones of the humane evolution troupe found in “A Very Hungry Caterpillar” by one Eric Carl.
I haven’t had a lot of time to read for pleasure recently ( exams and coursework taking over my life) but the last book I read was ‘Maximum Ride: Angel’ by James Patterson.
The last book i read was Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. I should go FIND another book to read :)
Are you a Hufflepuff? ;)
What the hell is a Hufflepuff?
You remember Doloris,
Them quiet, booky ones what don’t cause no trouble.
Cygnus, that’s not what I meant. It’s a… you have to… never mind. It’s a thing.
Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders.
“And, Hufflepuff.”
“Find!”
“What?”
Classic.
Wow. This is one of the worst ones yet. I’m surprised that I’m surprised.
I’m currently reading Lolita.
Charlie, is there ever a point in your day where you hear so many dim witted things you have trouble picking just one for this blog?
If so *hug*.
Honestly, I was pretty sure they never even read a book to begin with. I’m impressed.
And to join the conversation, I finished “The Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks last night. I’ve been meaning to read it, I just put it off until now.
Haha yay! I’m glad people understood that. “Dissaparate!” “Ah! Magic!”
Flu Powder power! Flu powder power! (may apologies if ‘flu’ is spelled different.)
i love your name.
It’s “floo” :) lol
I’ve never read Goodnight Moon, but my favorites when I was little were A Very Hungry Caterpillar, Hop On Pop, and my ultimate favorite: The Parakeet Girl. I kid you not, I can quote the whole book. And if you like adventure stories, I recommend that you read the Tomorrow series. It’s one of my favorite series; Narnia being the first. I read a lot in almost every genre, so I’m always here to recommend a good book :)
OMG AVPM!! I FREAKIN LOVE THAT. ahem.
“Did he just say dragons?”
“Did oyu just say did he just say dragons?”
YAY♥

She was asked the last book she had read,
That didn’t stop them from getting in bed,
All she could think of was Goodnight Moon,
And that wasn’t from any time soon.
I guess it didn’t matter to him,
That her light bulb is very dim,
He just wanted some quick action,
And that was exactly her reaction.
Well you see, she heard that smart, rich men like women in book clubs, and failed to realize that the kiddie club at the public library didn’t count. Unfortunately for her, the lexile level was just a bit over her head, so she couldn’t quite grasp the true purpose of diction and syntax so cleverly executed, and had to leave the club due to shame. It was one of the most devastating moments of her year after having turned twenty-one.
the last book I read was either Stolen or Living Dead Girl. both are very good
