Preparing for starting a career at a BB ?

I have received an offer to be a quant at a BB next year after I graduate, and was wondering how I could better prep myself to start my career. I'm very new to the industry, so I would want to better prepare for my career ahead. Should I focus on reading more books to deepen my financial knowledge? Or should I read from different genres to be more well read? Learn a different language? Please give me some ideas!
