Reading for meaning usually has to do with books you read because you have to, like for school. When people read for meaning they have to come up with a habit to analyze the work, such as taking notes. A lot of times these books are considered classics because they are typically known to have a lot of in depth thought behind them with many themes within it to find. Usually these themes can be heard to decipher though. A book that comes to mind is To Kill a Mocking Bird. Reading for pleasure usually is a simple book with not much underlying meaning to it. These books could include mystery novels, romance novels, Science Fiction books but no specific ones come to mind.
