It seems to me that The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic have a very different feel from the rest of the Discworld series. I've tried to read those books so many times and have never ever made it through, and I know exactly the feeling you're describing. I wasn't quite bored, but didn't find it very amusing, but didn't know if I didn't like it. It nearly put me off Terry Pratchett forever until I was caught with nothing to read except Reaper Man, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I like the rest of the series quite a bit though, so you may want to check out one of the later books and see if you like those better. ^^
