I can't really recommend Doc Savage books. I read some as a kid and wanted to see how they held up.
The answer is not very well. The treatment and even descriptions of women and non-Americans (or maybe non-wealthy people) are unpleasant. The adventures themselves are fun and interesting and if you can skip over the parts that were acceptable 70+ years ago but make you cringe now, then try one out. You don't have to start with the first book, these are pretty standalone and tell you what you need to know.
