Reading for meaning and reading for pleasure are much more different than people assume. In my opinion, reading for meaning is when you are reading for a deeper purpose or being told to read it. So it is not necessarily through free will and causing you to pay more attention to detail. Reading for pleasure on the other hand is when you read due to personal choice and individual enjoyment. There is no specific purpose to your reading and you do not feel compelled to pay attention to minor details.
When I think of books that are considered to be read for meaning, I think of The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird or other classics of the sort. But when I think of books that are read for pleasure, I think of the Series of Unfortunate Events, The Twilight Saga or the Harry Potter books.
An example of books that I have read for both meaning and pleasure is The Kite Runner, The Doll House and A Thousand Splendid Suns.
