Regarding the writing, what are your thoughts regarding this:
"Peter was my first real friend--that is, in close proximity and not in a book--and it's difficult to admit being a nineteen-year-old loner--but I wasn't unsociable, just discriminating. The people who surrounded me were either unlikeable or uninteresting. Even now, acquainted with many more names and faces, I recognize that not much has changed. Most people are stupid, insulting, aggressive or dull, simple, predictable. I still struggle to sieve through the mud bunks of humanity and collect the valuable sediments, all of whom I treasure and would never sell."
