Reading While Watching the Olympics on TV

I have been reading like mad while watching the XXX Olympics on television.  (1) Thinking no one can speak for herself as well as her Mother, Caroline has released "Jacqueline Kennedy- Historic Conversations of Life with John F. Kennedy."  Interviews with Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. in 1964 revealed life in the White House.  (2) "In The Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin," by Erik Larson, is another narrative non-fiction.  (3) And, currently, for lighter fare, Alexander McCall Smith's, "The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection."
