The one warning I heard from the many, many Discworld fans in my life was that both The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic were the two worst installments in the entire series. I, however, am a stubborn, slightly OCD completest; I would not let anyone suggest an alternate staring point.
After reading both of those, I had a similar reaction, as the OP. I could not tell whether or not I truly enjoyed either story. I do know that I enjoyed The Light Fantastic more than The Colour of Magic, though.
I still plan to read the entire series, someday.
