What's the most high-brow way to relearn Mathematics? Books need to be artful but inaccessible to the vast majority.

Why not just pick a normal book

Are normal mathematics book enjoyers highbrow?

anything high-brow, artful, and inaccessible to the vast majority will be specializing in a certain subfield, so here are some favorites to specialize in low-dimensional topology (in order):
algebraic topology by hatcher
knots and links by rolfsen
4-manifolds and kirby calculus by gompf and stipcisz

>Ernest Jones, in 1913, was the first to construe extreme narcissism, which he called the "God-complex", as a character flaw. He described people with God-complex as being aloof, self-important, overconfident, auto-erotic, inaccessible, self-admiring, and exhibitionistic, with fantasies of omnipotence and omniscience. He observed that these people had a high need for uniqueness.
