detective and sci-fi novels are kino
Some books off the top of my head that are both of those thing that I've enjoyed are Dirk Gently, Altered Carbon, Gun With Occasional Music, Leviathan Wakes, Stainless Steel Rat, and lots of stuff by Philip K Dick and Isaac Asimov.
For regular detective books there's no end of good choices, just depends on if you're looking for. You got your nordic noir, old pulp novels, classic English stuff like Sherlock, or modern British/American procedurals.
Just buttpirate a bunch of stuff and read it to see if you like it. The good thing about a lot of detective/sci-fi novels, detective novels especially, is they're usually part of a series so when you find one you like you're set for awhile.

Well put. I'm not very knowledgable on Hinduism, but I know enough to understand the meaning of this and see wisdom in it.

Not true, you overestimate how stupid somebody is with 90IQ. Some people are pretty high-functioning even with IQ levels of actual mental retardation.
George Jones had an IQ in the 60s-70s range and although he didn't seem like the brightest bulb, you wouldn't think his IQ was literally room temperature.
