Answer:

Yes you should. Use double quotation marks around the title of an article or chapter, and italicize the title of a periodical, book, brochure, or report.

Step-by-step explanation:

Titles of books should be underlined or put in italics . (Titles of stories, essays and poems are in "quotation marks.") Refer to the text specifically as a novel, story, essay, memoir, or poem, depending on what it is. In subsequent references to the author, use his or her last name.
