Check out the writings of the Trappist monk Thomas Merton if you haven't yet. Thich Nhat Hanh called him a living Buddha.

This is a very accessible introduction to Christian mysticism.

If you want to read more, I've heard good things about Christ the Eternal Tao written by an Eastern Orthodox priest-monk.

These are some of the books that I've enjoyed for spiritual reading (but it's hard to separate the books I've enjoyed as theology from spiritual readings some times!):

The best example of contemplation that I've seen is Thomas Merton

Anything by Thomas Merton is excellent. Contemplative Prayer and New Seeds of Contemplation can be good starts.

Richard Rohr, Henri Nouwen and Thomas Keating will also be good readings.
