We could take sections of the lore (via wiki/lodestone/ect) and organize them into unique sections with extra added information, like in-game theories, different racial/city opinions and conspiracies to make them feel less like the basic wiki info blurbs and then title the sections and make up an author name (unless your character is a scholar and may have written it or something).
That way, we have legitimate "books" that the community can both refer to but also use in character as reference.
