No book has made me question the reality of my surroundings like Ubik by Philip K Dick.

I agree wholeheartedly. This is a great book that is truly terrifying because Dick is constantly subverting the characters’ (and reader’s) perceptions of reality. He does this to an even greater degree in The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.

Ubik had my head swimming for weeks afterwards, I'm still not sure that my mind has ever recovered.
