New Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton
A Lever and a Place to Stand by Richard Rohr
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
Henri Nouwen ([Life of the Beloved](http://www.amazon.com/Life-Beloved-Spiritual-Living-Secular/dp/0824519868), [Return of the Prodigal Son](http://www.amazon.com/Return-Prodigal-Son-Story-Homecoming/dp/0385473079), [Seeds of Hope](http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0385490496))
Karl Rahner (The Great Church Year, Love of Jesus and the Love of Neighbor)
Thomas Merton ([New Seeds of Contemplation*](http://www.amazon.com/New-Seeds-Contemplation-Thomas-Merton/dp/0811217248))
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.
Buy and read this book: http://www.amazon.com/New-Seeds-Contemplation-Thomas-Merton/dp/0811217248/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1418926593&sr=1-1&keywords=new+seeds+of+contemplation
It's very lovely.
