Without the comma, you are telling me I need to learn to read the book fat albert. With it, you are telling me I need to learn to read and calling me fat albert.
Nope. Cite MLA or preferred writing style handbook that states this.

Comma with Direct Address
When addressing another person by name, set off the name with commas.
Mom, I can’t find my shoes! Cleo, there’s someone on the phone for you. Hello, Chester.

A classic example of the importance of commas with nouns of direct address is found in these two example sentences:
Let’s eat Grandpa!
Let’s eat, Grandpa!
See the difference? In the first sentence with the missing comma, Grandpa becomes the direct object of the action verb eat.
