I’m looking for that pretty much. Can anyone suggest some good books?
 
Here ya go, these are links to Divine Office prayer books. This is the regular version:

amazon.com/Christian-Prayer-Catholic-Book-Publishing/dp/0899424066/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308969996&sr=8-1

This is a shorter version, It’s the same thing only the long book has all of the prayers of the day the shorter version has only the morning, evening, and night prayers (which are the main prayers of the day and if you work every day they’re probably the only one’s you’ll have time for anyways).Here; the link to that:

amazon.com/Shorter-Christian-Prayer-Four-Week-Containing/dp/0899424082/ref=pd_sim_b_5

I use the Shorter Christian Prayer version. I like it very much and it works for me. The Divine Office is the official prayer of the Catholic Church so it is a good way to pray if you want a nice structured prayer life. The books can be confusing to use at first, I’d talk to a priest to see if he can help you learn the cycle of the prayers. I also used this book to help me learn how to use the Divine Office books:

amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Liturgy-Shirley-Sulliavn/dp/0899424848/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c

If you just want a book of Catholic prayers (like the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Rosary, the Stations of the cross ect.) I highly recommend this book:

amazon.com/Catholic-Book-Prayers-Arranged-Everyday/dp/0899429106/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308970451&sr=1-1

I hope this helps!

These may be fine books, but they are not traditional Catholic prayer books. They are modern Catholic prayer books.

Code: 
 The Benedictine monks have been praying the Divine Office since 500A.D. How are they not traditional prayer books when they offer a way of prayer that has been used for 1500 years? Even in the rule of St. Benedict there’s many times that he talks about praying the psalms. 
 I'm just trying to learn if I'm mistaken, I'm not trying to be defensive.
 
I really like Blessed Be God, and the Angelus Press daily missal.

Because the liturgy of the hours you posted is the modified post-Vatican-II version, not one of the traditional versions.
 
My favourite one is called “Holy Hour of Reparation”, and the prayers in it are very traditional 🙂
 
I vote for “Blessed Be God”, said to be the most beloved Catholic prayer book. My book was printed in 1925 and just recently they have reprinted so it is easy to find online. I just bought a new copy for my niece’s confirmation in June. It was exactly like my old one. I love this little prayer book.
