Mentioning a book in a paper?

Question

Hey just wondering if I was to mention a novel in something for school, do i italicize it or underline it? thanks

Answer 1

When you mention a poem or a story you put quotes around it.

e.g. "Summer"

When you mention a book you underline it.

Good luck on the paper ^^

Answer 2

Italicize or underline for a long written work, such as a novel or play.  

For a shorter work such as a magazine article, put the title in quotes.

Answer 3

If you're writing the paper on a computer and have the option of italicizing the title, do.  That's what the professionals do, and underlining is just a substitute for italics when they're not available--such as when you're writing by hand or using a typewriter.
