Name that Tome

English major Addison Braendel, CLA ’87, went on to earn his law degree at the University of Chicago. But it was his knowledge of literature that led to his development of the board game It was a Dark and Stormy Night, a game that challenges players to identify a book title or author based on the work’s opening lines. In 2009, ABC7 in Chicago included Braendel and his wife, Catherine, on a television segment that featured “Chicago Inventors.”
