Has anyone else read anything of his?

- I've got Book 3 & 4 of the New Sun series, but have been holding off until I find Book 1 & 2. Might have to break down and Amazon it.

His better well known works are pretty good supply on ebay, which is quite cheap, though I imagine shipping might be a bit of an issue for you...
I've read the Book of the New Sun, Innocents Abroad (short stories), bits of Castle of Days (short stories), Castleview, and the first two and part of the third of the Book of the Long Sun. I like him quite a lot. Let me know when you get around to reading novels.

I read books 1 and 2 of the Book of the New Sun... personally I found it rather hard to get through, but I think that was more of a conflict of style than anything else... my brother really loves his books, so I wish you good luck!
