Query: Trys too hard to be funny

This novel is the first of the Discworld series I've read.To me the author appears too impressed with his knowledgeof ancient myth and legend to make and real good jokes.The closest he comes for me is when in the spirit world he meets the fetching girlwho is death's daughter. The most interesting character in the book is a prop:the luggage is a semi-intelligent suit case with legsthat eats people it doesn't like. The failed wizard whoignores the talking trees and isn't allowed to die becausehe has an important world saving spell in his head is the hero.Several of the running jokes like Cohen the Barbarian, the geriatric hero,are in pretty poor taste even.Another book I was so glad when I finished.
