   Having had a quick scan along my book shelf, I'd recommend the   
   following:   
      
   Immortality Inc. - this is a "must read" Sheckley story, one of the   
   great novels of science fiction.   
      
   The Status Civilisation - not bad, but not one of his best.   
      
   Journey beyond Tomorrow - I read it as a teenager and the story stuck   
   with me. I had a heck of a job finding a copy.   
      
   Dimension of Miracles - Another great book and IMO it was plagiarised by   
   Douglas Adams for "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Adams denied   
   it, I say "meh", the stories are so similar and DoM was printed a decade   
   before Adams' story.   
      
      
   Of these only The Status Civilisation is available as an ebook.
