If you want to read about the Gnostic Gospels you should go to the book that every author, from abhorrent liberal critics to reactionary revanchists cite.

Dont read her later works tho, her husband and child died in the same year and she is a broken wreck.

If you want history I'd suggest the following:
The Gnostic Gospels - Elaine Pagels
Adam, Eve & The Serpent - Elaine Pagels

If you want the actual texts read the Nag Hammadi Library (I'd start with The Gospel of Thomas)

The Dead Sea Scrolls by John Allegro is on my reading list.
