The Call of the Wild - Jack London Burned in Nazi bondfires. They didn't like sled dogs?
Canterbury Tales - Geoffrey Chaucer. Sexual content.
Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger (my favorite) Anti-Christian and due to profanity, reference to suicide, vulgarity, disrespect, and anti-Christian sentiments.
