Henriettagal and Anniesantiago: good advice. I definitely will go for that the next time :)
When you're not born as the most outgoing person, you gotta create ways to help yourself connect with others. It's an interesting challenge to practice this on the Camino.
Would be a shame to worry about weight while walking the Camino. Enjoying Spanish Cuisine is just such a big part of the whole experience if you ask me.
Yes, it's definitely my goal. Gathering around the table with other pilgrims, relaxing in conversation about the experiences of the day and the people we met.
Lars Ulrich is a great subject (-: No lack of talking subjects with you.
And you're are right, that being curious about people and where they come from is the best way to open a conversation.

That is my take on things too. In general people want to treat others well.
Especially true on the Camino probably. Give a smile and receive a smile :)
I googled it because you mentioned it. "It is considered by many to be the most difficult work of literature ever published in the English language".
Sounds like an interesting challenge :)
