One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that the Apochrypha was part of the 1611 KJV and remained so until until 1885 according to one website I just checked. Why it was removed is subject to at least two theories: 1. It should've never been a part of the Bible in the first place, and 2. Printers removed it to cut down on shipping costs.
I have a copy of a reprinted 1611 KJV, and a separate copy of the Apochrypha.... I've only read half of it, and I found it interesting. I don't have a solid answer as to whether it should or shouldn't be included other than leaving it up to God's will be done. That could work both ways, of course, because we can still get those books.
There are other books mentioned in the Bible: The Book of Jasher and Enoch come to mind. There is even mention of an Epistle written by Paul to the Leodiceans! Speaking of Enoch.... Rockytopva: you didn't find that interesting?!?!? Some people question it's validity, but I don't know how you wouldn't find it interesting. I'm not faulting you for lack of a better term.... Just a difference in opinions, I suppose.
In any sense, here's that website I referred to earlier:
