.Is This Considered Weird?

Hey WSO, first year uni student hoping for some advice on this. Basically, I have an internship at a decently known asset manager but it's for 2020 - not this summer. When visiting the office, one of the SVPs was really cool and we talked for like 15 minutes while the CEO was taking a quick call in between a meeting with me. We talked about a lot of interesting things and he said to reach out if I ever need anything. I was thinking of following up on that and asking if he has any advice on how I can best prepare for the internship since I'll have a whole free summer to do so. Do current employees not like it when someone as low as an incoming intern reach out for things like this? He's a busy guy, but I basically would just ask him what skills I should polish up on and or which books I should read to make sure I am prepared (we talked a lot about books we liked during our meeting and already exchanged suggestions). Was hoping for some advice from you guys on whether or not this is considered weird since it's a whole year from my internship. Thanks!
