Re: What book do you always recommend?
Two of my favorites to recommend are "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" and "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. "
I wish there was an italics option on here. I hate having to put book titles in quotation marks.

Technically book titles are supposed to be underlined.....
Sorry that is the English teacher in me.

As of 2009, MLA changed the rules. It used to be underlining or italics, but now it's just italics.

It didnt. The APA still recognizes underlining as well as italics. Since the regents is handwritten it would be impossible for the students to italicize titles therefore they underline.
