God bless and welcome home. The writings of the Saints are always a good place to start. I assume daily Scripture reading is already a given. But here is a brief booklist.
Imitation of Christ by St. Thomas a Kempis
Spiritual Exercises by St. Ignatius Loyola
Dark Night of The Soul by St. John of The Cross
Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila
The Autobiography of a Soul by St. Teresa of The Child Jesus
Diary of St. Faustina.
A good text of the writing so the Church Fathers is also a valuable spiritual asset.
For apologetics and wonderful books on Catholic doctrine I strongly recommend anything by Scott Hahn.

Thats wonderful!
A few years ago I was introduced to Father Corapi’s works. The man is a juggernaut of faith and I bet you'd like him. You can even find a few clips of Father Corapi on youtube. Oddly enough, I found a few very interesting Catholic related clips on that site.

A poster recommended Peter Kreeft: I second that recommendation as I was lucky enough to listen to his lecture during the last Boston Catholic Men's Conference. A very learned and wonderful man whom I knew nothing about until the last conference. Professor Kreeft converted from Calvinism some years ago.
Also, both the Boston Catholic Men's and Women's conference is available on DVD and CD. The speakers for each conference are different ( as far as I remember ) and the talks are fantastic. If you have interest I can find the web site with ordering info.
