rootwad, Jasher and the other books were never considered for the canon because they can't be found. You can't publish what you can't find. 1 Enoch was in existence BC, in fact, at the time of the Macabbean Revolt. It, like the Gnostic writings, were considered and rejected. The other Enoch books were much later, but Jude doesn't make reference to them. Both Timothies and Titus were books written by a person who was pretending to be Paul. I wish Philemon was also, but Paul did write that tribute to slavery. But just because the books were written by somebody other than the claim made at the start of the book does not make them worthless. Most of The New Testament is based upon Paul's writings and his philosophy. However, the stuff that is closest to Jesus's teachings is based upon the hypothetical Book of Q and the two Ebionite books, James and Jude. Interesting that Martin Luther ripped the Book of James out of every Bible he found. Luther was very much a Paulist.
