Books to read before MBB internship

Hello fellow primates, there are many valuable recommendations on which books to read prior to an IBD-internship. However, I haven't seen any posts or lists of books to read prior to an MBB summer gig. I'm primarily asking for recommended readings after passing your case-interviews and getting the offer. So books for people who have read their Case in Point's and Ace the Case's already. I was lucky to land an offer early so i've got plenty of time to read during my studies prior to my internship next summer. Thanks in advance!

I've seen the the following two books mentioned. McDonald's book "The Firm" and McKenna's "The Worlds Newest Profession"
