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 serions (Solaris)
to slapstick (Tales of Pirx the Pilot).  He's used some odd forms (reviews
of non-existant 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).
