Gonna brute force my applied learning. Need book suggestions please

I'm an MBA student about to start banking so i'm looking for any books related to banking for suggestions. ANYTHING related to it. I know that could be a lot of suggestions potentially, but like I said I'm just gonna sit my ass down and read each one

Please don't give me any textbooks that only cover theory and mechanics. I want books that skip the basics (since i'm learning that already) and dive right into the application, the financial instruments, markets, market drivers, yield curves, etc

best of the best that you've ever read. I'm looking to build a f*ckin library

I've so far found these that I'm thinking of reading:
1) The Principles of Banking by Moorad Choudhry
2) Marketing Financial Services by Hooman Estalami
3) Bank Officer's Handbook of Banking Law Frederick Beutel
4) The Concise Guide to MarcoEconomics by David Moss
