Lem is probably the best non-english speaking writer of SF today (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).
