"His Master's Voice" is a gem. I found it really difficult to get through the first time, as a teenager. Part of that may be a function of the translation. I later read it a second time after spending significant amounts of time in academia, and loved it for its cynical but largely accurate portrayal of human behaviour. I also really enjoyed "The Futurological Congress" (which is of Lem's easier-to-digest stories in my opinion) and "Fiasco".
