should you include dividends when calculating your investment return?

i'm just wondering if i should be treating dividends as part of my overall return? i've got a simple lazy portfolio with TD e-series and was wondering if it is normal to just calculate returns based on the market & book values OR should i take into account the dividends that have been automatically re-invested?
