Fries co-authored the book, We’ll Never Be Young Again: Remembering the Last Days of John F. Kennedy, which incorporates over 100 letters from individuals relating the impact his death had on them which include letters from Jack Valenti, Dominick Dunne, Robert McNamara and Senator John Kerry, among others. The book was then developed as a staged reading for the Kirk Douglas Theatre .
Fries wrote his autobiography, Chuck Fries Godfather of the Television Movie: A History of Television about the early years of television, the day-to-day workings of the entertainment business, the origins of television movies and what it takes to get them produced and distributed. Throughout the book, the reader discovers why Fries has been dubbed "Godfather of the Television Movie" and gains solid insights from a show business veteran on how to succeed in one of the world's most competitive industries.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“If writers were too wise, perhaps no books would get written at all. It might be better to ask yourself “Why?” afterwards than before. Anyway, the force from somewhere in Space which commands you to write in the first place, gives you no choice. You take up the pen when you are told, and write what is commanded. There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
““The life of reason”Ma phrase once used by people who thought that reading books would deliver them from their passions.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“It is more of a job to interpret the interpretations than to interpret the things, and there are more books about books than about any other subject: we do nothing but write glosses about each other.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
