And if you are Catholic, have you read any reformed Protestant writings outside of the usual confessions the writings are based on?

John Calvin.
Without a doubt Calvin's writings and terse manner against false doctrine would be very "politically incorrect" in post-modern christendom today.
Calvin was a "no hold barred" kind of guy who masterfully refuted the Papists, their poisonus pens and the myth of free will.
Unfortunately Calvin, I believe, would be greatly saddened today if he saw much of the heresy that has crept into the reformed and presbyterian churches.

I'm not sure if he falls under "reformed Protestant", but to my mind C.S. Lewis is a standout. Had he written nothing other than "Mere Christianity", this clear and compelling argument alone would rank among the most significant modern-day contributions to the faith across all denominations.
On an entirely different scholastic level, I've enjoyed much of what Swindoll writes (and he is rather prolific) because of his refreshingly common-sense approach, firmly grounded in Scripture. Even though I don't agree with him doctrinally in a few areas, there is still much in what he writes of great value in living the Christian life.
I'm Catholic, by the way. :)
