Time Out

What I like about Matthew Berry's writing is that he is very interesting and takes the time to describe things if it is important or if he is trying to get a life. Usually after the end of a chapter, or before a new chapter, he has a few pages about himself or him connecting to his writing ehich he calls "time out". Matthew Berry likes to tell the reader about what is coming up in the next chapter about telling a story that has happened to him in his life, or to just sum up what was in that last chapter that the reader just read. Some of the titles of these "time outs" are called:

Trade advice from My Late, Great Uncle Lester. In this time out, Matthew Berry talks about how big of an impact his great uncle Lester had on him before he died on Febuary 28, 2011.

Picking the Draft Order. This time out takes the time to tell us about hoe BIG draft day is for him and silly ways and funny situations he has gotten into on draft day. "We buy 10 rubber duckies, paint them different colors, and race them. Travis tells me. First place in the duck race gets first pick, second gets second, and so on."

The Best Fantasy Team Names. There are some weird Fantasy Names for any team out there, but her are some that Matthew Berry has encountered in his life.
Football: Kibbles and Vicks, Hakeema Matata, Brady Gaga, I'm bringing Hasselback.
Baseball: Hameltime!, 902Cano, Baby got Bacne, Honey Nut Ichiros, 99 problems but a pitch ain't 1.
