Interview Prep

I am currently working in a boutique equity research firm (short side). I am currently looking to break into IB as an associate or big sell side research firm. Any thoughts on the books i need to read to prep for the interview? Suggestions and inputs appreciated. (p.s: I am a non-ivy).
