Sorry to dispute you all, but the AP Style Book says the following regarding composition titles:
"Put quotation marks around the names of all book titles, computer game titles, movie titles, opera titles, play titles, poem titles, song titles, television program titles, and the titles of lectures, speeches and works of art." Exceptions are "the Bible and books that are primarily catalogs of reference material" such as "almanacs, directories, dictionaries, encyclopedias, gazetteers, handbooks and similar publications."
So if you don't mind, I'll continue to follow these professional writers' guidelines.
