I'm the >>9798884 guy. Haven't read Greatest Show, although I have it on my shelf. I reckon it's aimed at people who do not know much about evolution, so I do not expect to learn much new since I read a lot of biology books. The Selfish Gene on the other hand taught me a great deal I didn't know before, about inclusive fitness, altruism, game theory, haplodiploidy in social insects, evolutionarily stable strategies, etc. If you decide to read The Selfish Gene make sure you follow it up with The Extended Phenotype, in which Dawkins develops his concepts further (it is also more challenging to read).
