There is a book called Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil by Elizabeth Clare Prophet. It offers a pretty good overview of the Book of Enoch and the church covering it up.

You can get a copy of Enoch on the net, Enoch, many have answered here, is the grandfather of Noah. Along with the reference to the giants, Josephus Flavius also gives the same explanation and goes further to point out that one of these giants was Hercules. When you read the book of Enoch you will also find a reference to these fallen angels as performing blasphemy against the creatures of the air, land ,and sea. Many believe that this is basically manipulation of the genetic code, thereby giving us dinosaurs of various natures. They claim the book of Enoch was written around 100 BC, yet it also is found in the dead sea scrolls which is much older and they are copies of older texts, so there is no way of knowing for certain how old this book really is.

The Lost Book of Enoch.
in the book of Genesis, there are indications that previous to this world being created, there was something before that...The Book of Enoch talks about that, as wellas the First Fall of the Angels. Lucifer was the leader of he Rebellion, bu before Lucifer, there was another Fall, these were the Angels that incorporated themselves as flesh, and had a booty call with the daughters of Eve.
From this union, were the Nephelim created, Angel/Human half-breeds. From what I understand, this book ws suppresed, not becuase it was thought o be apocryphal, but because it didn't agree with church doctrine:
1) There was only 1 fall of the Angels, led by Lucifer.
2) Angels and Demons are spiritual beings, and can NOT become flesh.
And according to Enoch, the Nephelim, and the Watchers, the Angels that became flesh, are still on the planet, even to this day.
So the church not only refused to include it in the Bible, but also attempted to obliterate it.

First, start from the beginning. The basics of Judaism stems from Zoroastorism, which stems from the babylonians. The beginning of the first monotheoic belief. Then get a Hebrew bible. Its all in there. Think back to dawn of man times and how stories would have been told by the fire and then a little later at a meeting place set for phylosophist, or elders;eventually they began to write these stories down. The books of Gilgamesh are some of the oldest,I believe it was the tie between zoroastorism and judaism. Just like modern stories, there is a moral or meaning, I believe it is up to you, to look into your heart for the answers. Read, study. This is only a part of the duality of man, our evolution. Remember that there is not a seperation between church and state. These books were law, and the elders played judge, jury, and executioner.

The writings of Enoch were lost. The current text is apocryphal in nature with some truths and many falsehoods. We have some of Enoch's writings handed down by Moses in the Book of Moses contained in the volume known as The Pearl of Great Price.

The book of Enoch is part of what is commonly refered to as the Old Testament pseudepigrapha. The Catholic Church did not throw this work out of the canon of scripture (the Bible), because it was never included in the canon.

Check this website for the Gosepel of Enoch and other books taken out of the Christian bible:
http://www.meta-religion.com/World_Religions/Christianity/Other_Books/other_books.htm
Basically that Jesus(PBUH*) wennt to Hell and freed Abraham(PBUH*) and all the other old testament people from Hell and talks bout the fall of Iblis(Lucifer) and his angels from Heaven, the fallen angels mating with human maidens, and there is no Hell. The book of Enoch consists of 5 books, 105 chapters

Enoch was Noah's great-grandfather, and thus he did not discuss Jesus. The Coptic church and the Ethiopian church do use the book of Enoch.

It was a popular book with the early Christians, but it was never actually part of the Bible. I picked up a copy of it online awhile back, but never managed to read through the whole thng. I found it kinda boring, actually.
