PDN 9/20- Reading for meaning/pleasure

Reading for meaning means that you are looking for a deeper meaning. This means that as you read, you are annotating passages and finding the symbolism in the text. When you are reading for pleasure, you are simply reading the book for the pure enjoyment of the plot. When I think of reading for meaning I think about books such as, The Giver, Invisible Man, and Animal Farm. Books that are usually read for pleasure are fun, fiction ones, such as- Twilight, Harry Potter, and Nineteen Minutes. Mostly Nicholas Sparks’ books come to mind when I think about books that are read for pleasure.
