Cool Magazines, books, datacubes, etc: In-game reading

There has been talk about a thread like this for a while, so I will just go ahead and make one.

To quote Wikipedia:
Quote:
Deus Ex features a text-reading system which allows the player to read terminals and notes, as well as excerpts from newspapers and books found in various locations within the game level. These various bits of media serve a variety of purposes, from providing the player with useful gameplay information (such as a needed keycode), to the advancement of the plot, to the creation of atmosphere and metafictional irony. It is this last aspect which is most prevalent in the novels found in Deus Ex, with excerpts usually providing reflective commentary on the player's current situation.

Just in case the developers need some extra material to incorporate into their game lets have some suggestions regarding any of the following:

- Names for magazines
- Articles to read about in magazines
- Book titles (real or imagined):
Give names of books that can be used, just like they used The Man Who Was Thursday, The Art Of War, etc in DX1. Maybe also give a description of that book for us.
- Datacube entries:
Interesting conversations, situation analysis', messages, etc.
- Emails
-Anything else you can think of:
Just be creative and see what you can come up with to go into the game that will add to the overall experience in terms of reading material.

I'm sure the dev's will love to hear some constructive ideas coming from the community. Let's pretend it is a competition. The winner will receive a cookie and a PM from one of the mods saying "well done". Lol.

So, let's hear what you have to say. And most importantly, have fun and be nice
