Is it okay for a book to be purely entertainment, or must it have meaning?
(I assume the question applies to trade fiction, not non-fiction!)
Different readers enjoy multiple different aspects of a fiction, so it's prudent for the author to make their story both entertaining and meaningful. Which aspect they choose to emphasize is another question. (I try not to beat my readers about the head with my opinions: they're there if you're interested.)
