I think we have different definitions of literature!
I'm not surprised.
Fun! Good rhythm and rhyme. I liked the "literature" reference.
This is one of the "generic to specific" TFF riddles. Line two is a reference to mail in the generic, then line three is a reference to a specific type of mail. That's not a criticism. This is a great teaser, but I like the TFF puzzles where all three lines are unrelated best.
This one faked me out. I answered "phone book", assuming line 1 referred to a land line phone and line two was based on the fact that Amazon started out delivering books. I like the image of "junk" being something that was once useful, but has lost its value.
Sorry if my coments are long. I just like giving a reaction beyond "good one!"
