The trippiest book I've read is Ubik... like, by far.

I may be biased in that I in fact read this during an acid trip, but Vonnegut's Timequake.

VALIS is PKD's trippiest by far
Finnegans Wake is a classic

But the trippiest books of all dont have words and are printed on blotter wink

headier math books are pretty beyond me but the accessible works by gleick and anything including and beyond relativity in the works of physic are always fun.

i really liked gleick's chaos and everything ive read about relativity, even though i dont understand the underlying mathematics.

The works of Antonio Lobo Antunes are definitely up there.

His works are surrealistic nightmares heavily inspired by Faulkner and the early European surrealists.

This book is unbridled madness turned into prose.

Everything about PKD is like almost normie 1950s sci-fi posters with big ants in black and white though. I know he's sort of respected here because he was a nazi, but...

This book sucks ass. "pssst hey kid, there's drugs and sex in here LMAO"
"AND THEN WILLIAM BURROUGHS SHOWED UP"

It's literally Pynchon fanfiction.

Anyway OP: Borges short stories, Gravity's Rainbow, most of Calvino's stuff, Donald Barthelme, George Saunders, David Icke's Guide to the Global Conspiracy, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Book of Lies

also Cannonball by McElroy is in my mind psychedelic but not in that it's "trippy" more in that it reminds me of eating a 10 strip and going on an emotional rollercoaster through your memories without much clarity.
