If nothing else, the Warrior of Light is technically a living mythical hero in the setting. He was instrumental in stopping both the Garleans and multiple Primals. And he's well-known enough that it could be someone your character could be super-stoked about seeing or meeting. Him and/or anyone who plays as a WoL-style character... which would make for some amusing interactions.
Speaking of Primals, a couple of them are heroic figures for the people that summon them - King Moggle Mog and Shiva being good examples of this. Beyond that, all that I can think of offhand are the folks who took down Titan through wave tactics that you meet in the MSQ. There's also few other heroes that come to mind - the Azure Dragoon himself being one for the Ishgardians, several of the people identified in the relic quests (Wiyu and Sasuke, for example) and the Moogles even mention a great Moogle hero named Mog.
As for more literary heroes... I don't know of any offhand, though I would like to as well. Chachan is a similar sort in that he's heard and read all sorts of hero stories. Except, he's doing the dumb thing and wanting to be an actual hero, rather than something more reasonable like your character seems to.
Ultimately, when asked about the books and stuff he has, I make up stuff. My favorite is the pair of Miner brothers who get transported to a world being terrorized by a very nasty Adamantoise. Or the tale of the couerl prince who was chased away from his home by his uncle and ultimately came back to reclaim his territory with the help of a Gobbie and a Qirin. Just have fun with it, and I'm sure people won't ask too many questions.
