Oliver Twist - I was disturbed over the depiction of the orphanage from a liberal standpoint. After all, Oliver turned out ok in the end, so his experiences in the orphanage must have done him some good.

Ben Hur - This book shows how important religious tolerance is. I mean, Jesus, a Christian, healed Ben's mother and sister, even though they were Jews. I'm sure the Hur family became Christians after that. That's why we should support Israel whole-heartedly.
