In a two man crew, what’s the difference between a Non Flying Pilot, and Monitoring Pilot???

Does the Pilot Not Flying read the checklist, tend to radio communications, read the paper, take a nap, eat his crew meal?

Or, does the Monitoring Pilot read the checklist, tend to radio communications, read the paper, take a nap, eat his crew meal?
