What is a good book for a Finance student?

I'm going to be a freshman in college and am majoring in finance. What is a good finance book that you would reccomend. I'm thinking of picking up "When Genius Failed." Any thoughts?

This was the textbook I used for my introductory finance class sophomore year at Cornell. It explains the concepts really well and provides step by step examples.





I found it to be pretty helpful. Not a lot of students in my class ended up using the book, which I think was a detriment to them since they found the class to be really hard. However, I read the book, which explained concepts better than the professor and ended up with an A in the class!





Hope this helps! Good luck!
