Thank you! I can't get ebooks of the two collections you mentioned, but I got one collection which includes some of the stories you recommended. I'll try reading them when I finish with reading all of PKD I can lay my hands on

On-topic, in the Philip K. Dick world, I would recommend Time Out Of Joint. If you need words on the plot, it's very clearly the uncredited inspiration for the film "The Truman Show," but with much more depth. Typical (almost archetypal) PKD examination of the nature of reality.

I never read Notes from Underground. What I read by Dostoevsky never seemed SF to me. Thanks for the hint.
As for Dick, I just finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and started now The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. I also got Time Out of Joint, so I'll be reading for sure soon. Thank you!
