I feel that reading for pleasure and meaning are vastly different. When I read for meaning, I’m usually reading for some sort of an assignment. For that reason I’m not usually very interested or concerned with what I’m reading at all. In contrast when I’m reading for pleasure I pay very close attention to detail, “absorbing” the book. I pick books that I know I will enjoy. Most often my “pleasure” books and my “meaning” books don’t intersect.
Meaning:
Into the Wild
House on Mango Street
Lord of the Flies
Pleasure:
Lamplighter
Foundling
Black Company
Both:
White Fang
