Well, I load type-break in normal way.  Please take a look at the
functions `type-break-get-previous-time' and 
`type-break-get-previous-count'.
They contain similar expressions like I provided.  For example,
the functiion `type-break-get-previous-time':

(defun type-break-get-previous-time ()
  "Get previous break time from `type-break-file-name'.
Returns nil if the file is missing or if the time breaks with the
`current-time' format."
  (let ((file (type-break-choose-file)))
    (if file
        (timep ;; returns expected format, else nil
         (with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect file 'nowarn)
           (save-excursion
             (goto-char (point-min))
             (read (current-buffer))))))))

The file returned by `type-break-choose-file' is the actual
file of `some-file.el'.  On my system for some reason it is
not written correctly, which causes Emacs report confusing
error.
