Can a living human's DNA be modified for use as a living library?

I know that DNA can be used to encode information, using ACGT as a quaternary instead of binary encoding.
Could a functional genetically-modified human walk around with a lot of information stored in their DNA? What would be the side effects of this, and would the data stay stable through that human's life?
By extension, could two humans modified in the same way parent children, some of which would also have the stored information?
