Sure. If you're looking for something with absolutely no handholding whatsoever, here's what I use as a reference (not that I do much anymore): Howard Georgi's superb book. Though I wouldn't buy it without spending some time with a library copy first.

While /u/PlasticPrison gave an exhaustive list, I would only add one more, which at least in the US is considered a standard on this subject: Lie Algebras in Particle Physics by Georgi.

The canonical text. Sorry for the mobile link.

MTW is the classic text on GR (maybe Weinberg's book used to be except its a little dated). Its also ~1000 pages long and not necessarily a best introduction to GR and is expensive. The nice thing about F&N is that its only ~200 pages and gives a nice intro of the subject. (There are other books like Hartle that I am not familiar with).

I'm never really did a GR outside of a grad course taken in undergrad that used F&N. I'm very familiar with many QM books, and strongly recommend Shankar. I enjoyed Zee more than Peskin & Schroeder, though again you need P&S if you want to really learn QFT. And for particle physics Perkins should be a first introduction and he doesn't emphasize the Group Theory/Lie Algebra, which you may be able to get from a book like Georgi's Lie Algebra in Particle Physics.

>I'm really into analysis and I'd imagine that it wouldn't hurt to understand it more technically.

Real analysis is probably the only area of math I never ended up using in grad school.

As mentioned elsewhere, Lie groups are pretty important in theoretical physics. Lie Algebras In Particle Physics is often recommended as a good introduction for physicists.
