After narrowing down the number of books to four finalists, the selection committee of the Duke Summer Reading program will choose the required reading book for the Class of 2011 March 7, after soliciting student and faculty feedback.

The committee will choose from a mix of fiction and non-fiction books, whose topics range from human rights to local race relations to the origins of the meals Americans eat.

The finalists are "The Best of Enemies" by Osha Gray Davidson, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan, "What is the What" by Dave Eggers and "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.
