You need to be a bit careful of overload. I don’t know what your RCIA course covers, but once you have either been baptized or have made your profession of faith (normally on Holy Saturday Night), you are at the beginning.
Following Christ is first and foremost about faith. and faith continues to grow throughout our life as we continue to follow - part of which is frequent reception of the sacraments, particularly Reconciliation and Eucharist.
Learning more is something I always encourage, and should be something you never stop pursuing; but there is time enough for reading the Church Fathers as well as a phenomenal range of other issues/studies/matters; as the Spirit leads you.
I would recommend putting Canon law on the back burner. A large amount of it has likely no relevance to you at all and is not damaging to faith, but not relevant to faith growth, either.
The Catechism is an excellent reference, but is dense and it is easy to get bogged down. Use it as a reference, not a text.
I am on the RCIA team at my parish; and I took a quick look at our program; there are basically 25 topics, and one of which could be sufficient for a PhD. thesis; we are not going to get into much depth in an hour and a half session on each topic. Nor should anyone feel they are being shortchanged; it is presumed (and I hope said) that leafing does not stop with then end of the program; it is just beginning. However, the topics are central to becoming a Catholic - and presumably anyone in the program who hits a roadblock will pursue the issue further outside of class (our team and the sponsors are there to assist in this).
God bless on this journey!
