The Catholic LifeTime Reading Plan

One book that you should probably try to get a hold of if you're interested in reading Catholic literature is Fr. Hardon's Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan. Unfortunately it is out of print, but you should be able to find a used copy on Amazon.com, or Alibris.com, or Abebooks, or whatever other used book vendor you use. After discussing the Bible, the Catechism, the Second Vatican Council and L'Osservatore Romano, Fr. Hardon provides a brief commentary on over 100 Catholic authors, arranged chronologically in the following periods: The Age of Persecution The Patristic Age Medieval Civilization The Catholic Reformation The Modern Age I'm sure I'll be referring to this book as I comment on books discussed here. Reading the works listed in Fr. Hardon's book would truly take a lifetime.
