What is the grammar rule for mentioning a book ANSWER!!!!?

Question

i forget what the rule is. I'm writing a paper for a summer book report and here;s basically how i started. "the book i chose to read is called The Hot Zone"

isn't there some rule where you have to underline it, or put quotes, or italicize it or something?

Answer 1

traditionally it's been underlined for a book title. now that computers are prevalent, italics can also be used. no quotes for a title unless it's a short story.

a book is not "called" something; it is "titled".

if you're going to be writing a lot of papers or off to college soon, i recommend buying a copy of the MLA's (Modern Language Association) Formatting and Style Guide.
