Gardner's early Perry Mason novels are great fun. This one dates from 1939, and yes it really does feature a perjured parrot.
If you like reading books about contradictory and repetitiveness, Ignore Everybody is a good book to add to your list. The first several pages of Ignore Everybody were funny and the art really added to what MacLeod was saying in those early chapters. As I read on, however, I got the feeling that there was either multiple people writing or he just didn't make up his mind really well. As I progressed through the chapters, I felt MacLeod turn from a humorous author to a nagging teacher that wants the best for you but doesn't really know how to put that into words. He just started repeating things that he'd said earlier, like "just create for you" and "don't let others influence your work". When he wasn't talking about those two things, he was contradicting previous statements. I was looking for a moment of inspiration when I picked up Ignore Everybody, but it didn't really give me any. At least the business card comic things were fun to look at.
