Elle does actually read a bit, though a lot of the reading she's done has been because she had access to books, and not much else when it came to trying to entertain herself. Though even she had a cutoff for how boring her father's books could be before she'd stop reading them. For narrative reasons, the standouts are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz (young girls plucked out of their lives and thrown into crazy shit they don't really understand).

Caprica and Sharon both enjoy reading well enough, though Caprica more so, and she has more time for it and would have more available. I tend to think Cylons would have some access to Colonial authors and maintain some sort of library of them; canon doesn't give much indication as to whether there are Cylon authors. If there are, it kind of gives the impression that they tend to be more anonymous or collaborative than human writers. In any case, there's nothing in particular that I can list here.

Emerson loves pop up books! And I think he outwardly despises but secretly loves mystery novels ^__^

And I tend to use my characters' lack of knowledge about popular culture/being from another galaxy as an excuse to not deal with canon puncturing. The closest thing has been religious/mythological figures, and then it's just... well there are stories about you, and they got a lot of stuff wrong! Those characters are kind of used to it.
