Is JSTOR a good way to supplement my reading?

JSTOR, Project Muse, MLA bibliography etc. are all good resources if you have an interest in scholarly research or serious critical analyses on any major works that you have read. On JSTOR in particular I found wonderful supplies of research, interpretation, reading guides / structure charts and timeline schemata on The Sound and The Fury. Sometimes the work is minor and only tangentially interesting, sometimes it can make you reevaluate your whole reading of the work in question. If you like Faulkner and TSATF in particular I suggest reading Stacy Burton's articles, they will challenge everything you had preconceived about the work.

any articles behind a paywall can suck my dick
the fact that students get free access to articles just makes it worse. they're encouraging you to subscribe to an institution if you want access to knowledge. with the price per article and the fact that you have to have access to dozens of articles if you're doing serious research, you're basically fucked if you don't pirate or aren't a student. kike shit. knowledge should be free, JSTOR isn't a library it's a scam

i dont think jstor is a place to look for stuff.one finds stuff while reading books or other articles and then one find them on jstor. in itself, however, the thing will give too many results unless the search is quite specific.

mainstream entry level books, sure. not my special snowflake super obscure writings that I'm not sure are even translated.
but we as humanity have taken pains to ensure such wonderous work as Twilight and Harry Potter have 1000 mirrors.

Everyone publishes irrelevant papers, you need to get some experience with JSTOR before you can start recognize what is good and what is not. Overall a good resource, but again, reading primary sources it the thing that will get you through most of what you do. Secondary literature is secondary in more than one sense.

You can find most of the articles published in recent literature by putting their DOI code on SCI-HUB. I cannot put the link because it counts my post as spam, but if you google sci-hub you should get enough results to find the right website. If it has a DOI code, it can be found. There are also books and other stuff.

one just has to add '.sci-hub.tw' after the main site's url and the thing is done, no need to go through all that work:

jstor org/stable/xxxxxxx > jstor org sci-hub tw/stable/xxxxxxx

this works on any academic site, but theres some material that never works, specially books. actually ive never seen a book work, at least not on jstor.

for instance, give this one a try, both to the article and the journal: jstor org/stable/43562677

thats just for references, right? or is there any content? i only see a short text and a list of references.

This trick isn't working for me. I can search for the article title on sci-hub and find it, but if I try to modify the URL like you said it gives me an "insecure connection" error.

Sure, but the university pays for access, right? So it's not exactly free to students as they pay indirectly through tuition/ fees
