  4. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
  5. Methuselah's Children
  6. The Rolling Stones
  7. The Cat Who Walks Through Walls
Would appreciate your thoughts on the order of reading and if I should purchase any others (obviously I have Stranger)
As these are closely related (either part or his Future History series, or closely allied to it), even though you'll be jumping back and forth as far as his career and writing is concerned (at least with the first few), I'd suggest the following:

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
The Rolling Stones
Methuselah's Children
Time Enough for Love
The Number of the Beast
The Cat Who Walks Through Walls
To Sail Beyond the Sunset
