In this Disputatio address, Andy Naselli inspires the NSA student body and faculty to embrace reading as a transformative pursuit. Naselli dismantles the notion of becoming a mere hoarder of knowledge who gorges on information. Instead, he calls for a deeper vision: becoming the kind of reader who is fully human, informed by truth, and alive to the wisdom of the ages. Reading, Naselli argues, is not just about knowledge—it’s about building character, competence, and humanity in every area of life. Learn how to read a book, and in doing so, learn how to live.
