Hey all,
1L here finishing up exams. I'll be interning in-house this summer at a F50 company (is that a thing? oh well, it's for anonymity).
I have some time between the end of exams and my start date, so I'd like to read a couple books that will help me out. It's not a matter of gunning for an offer, as I don't think this internship is designed to bring interns back for post-2L summer or immediately after graduation, but my work experience is not in business so I'd like to familiarize myself with the landscape and not walk in as a deer in the headlights.
Aside from industry-specific material, what are some books I could benefit from reading? Thanks in advance!

Re: Helpful Books for Pre-Internship
You could read Capital by Thomas Piketty, then explain to your employers how they're contributing to the inequality of wealth distribution. Kidding about that second part, but might be a worthy read (it's in my 'someday soon' pile).Anonymous User wrote:Hey all,

For real though, im not sure what a non-industry specific book would have to offer for a summer gig. If you're working for a bank or something involved with investing you might just start poking through investopedia. Otherwise, maybe start reading WSJ or the Economist for the summer?
