I have two recommendations, since I'm not exactly sure where your taste lies. They are at sorta opposite ends of the dark fantasy spectrum
1) Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
People have been telling me to read a Gaiman book for ages. I figured it was about time to try one. I stumbled onto this one (like you) at the library. The world has a lot of similarities to the pun-filled world of Xanth. However, I liked how Gaiman didn't try to EXPLAIN London Below, it just was, and you figured it out or not, like the main character must have had to. Light reading.
2) The Black Company by Glen Cook
These days Hollywood coats everything with so much sugar it's no wonder Americans are fat and diabetic. If you're the sort of person who likes Anime because it doesn't always have a "happy ending" then this is a book to pick up. The series follows a rag-tag and generally not-so-nice group of mercenaries as they just try to get by. Heavy reading, though not long as individual books go.
It's a Square Meal token. In a time when dinner would cost you 50 cents, this token valued at 1.50 would pay for all three meals in a day. Hence the phrease three square meals a day.
