Books for MF/Distressed PE

Hello everyone,

Hoping to get some book recommendation. I will be an intern next summer at a RX group known for its exits and I would like to read some books that could help me develop investor mindset/prepare me for PE. 

I have recently read and really enjoyed The Caesars Palace Coup and Deep Value. Since I am so far from recruiting I would be also happy to read less technical but more enjoyable books. 

Which books would you recommend?

Thanks!!
