Is he a canonized saint? Oh I didn't know that.

Either way he was an incredible writer. The Consolation of Philosophy is a short book which he wrote while in prison awaiting execution. It's one of those books you'll read and wonder why it isn't more famous (it used to be, but hey, we have an anti-medieval and anti-Catholic bias in academia now).

Good if you want to get into Dante, too.

Free edition available online at Gutenberg or Adelaide

A free PDF version

The more modern copy I read and enjoyed

Supposedly the new Relihan translation is good?
