What is the Catholic understanding of what we (we hope!) will be doing in Heaven? Are there any books on this subject as well?

The Church has never promulgated any teaching in this regard (and could never do so), because it is not part of the Deposit of Faith. We simply do not know.

I have pondered this question myself. After all, if I imagine myself as a Saint in heaven, what would I do? I would glorify God and eat all the pizza I could consume (surely the pizza buffet in Heaven is unlimited, and does not lead to weight gain or high blood pressure). Frankly, even with the pizza, that seems kinda dull for all of eternity (which is a LONG time).

But I trust in my Maker. God will not condemn me to an eternity of pizza buffets while I shake a tambourine. I do not know what eternity holds for me, but I know it will be (eternally) interesting and rewarding, just as life on earth (a greatly inferior state) can be.
 
I have no idea, I only know three things:
  1. I wanna see JESUS!!!
  2. I wanna see my family.
  3. I wanna have a pet orca…named Sakura. 😉
I have no idea what heaven will be like, all I know is that it’ll blow our minds.

Playing baseball all day long with Babe Ruth and all the other passed hall of famers, drinking the best beer ever and not getting drunk, AND (most importantly, of course) spending the entire time in praise and worship of the Lord.
