The discussions have begun. On the Same Page 2003, this year's communitywide reading project, kicked off last month with the announcement of the two titles:

• Savage Inequalities, Jonathan Kozol's exploration of public education, is the main selection.

• Marika, local author Andrea Cheng's novel about a girl growing up in Hungary, is the young reader selection.

Now, book discussions for adults and teens are taking place in libraries, community centers and bookstores throughout the area.
