Curiosity and Writing Style Influence
Tom Holland shares that his love for the extremity of curiosity, both about ancient history and writing style, shapes his work habits. Drawing parallels with Herodotus' infinite curiosity about various subjects, Holland immerses himself in academic texts but then sets free from their influence with music from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. This helps him retain a sense of accessibility for his general audience despite the denseness of his research.
