Book Recommendations for Undergrads?

Currently a rising sophomore that plans on going somewhere in IB after graduation. I just finished reading Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and really enjoyed reading. Does anyone have any recommendations for books that would be beneficial for someone interested in the financial services industry? Can range from anything from books that will provide insights to the industry to advice books to stories from the world of finance. Just looking for recommendations on what would be beneficial for me to read as an undergrad. Thanks in advance!
