Lem is probably the best SF writer not writing in english (although good
cases could be made for Borges, Calvino or Strugatsky).  Here are his
books that have been translated into english, plus an unconfirmed listing
of his books that have not been translated yet (take this later list with
a large grain of salt).

Lem has written a broad range of works, from disturbingly serious
(Solaris) to slapstick (Tales of Pirx the Pilot).  He's used some odd
forms (reviews of non-existent books).  He has serious criticisms of
western SF, saying it's too often used for action/adventure instead of
serious imaginative works.  In a Lem books, aliens are REALLY alien
(incomprehensible).
