I'm trying to get my boys to enjoy reading. They love anything gross (bugs,farts) and silly. My 9yr old really enjoyed the diary of a whimpy kid series. My 5yr old loves the David books by David Shannon. Oh! Anything Halloween-esque would be great also!
Answer
For the 5 y.o.boy:
the Fly Guy series by Tedd Arnold - funny, large print, and hilarious illustrations; even my girls loved these books! http://www.shvoong.com/books/children-and-youth/1896047-hi-fly-guy/
the Teacher From the Black Lagoon series by Mike Thaler - scary/funny; love the illustrations http://www.shvoong.com/books/children-and-youth/1895908-teacher-black-lagoon/

For the 9 y.o. boy, here are some EZ to read chapter books that include illustrations:
the Franny K. Stein series by Jim Benton - mad scientist; very Halloween-esque!! http://www.shvoong.com/books/children-and-youth/1894116-franny-stein-mad-scientist/
The Strange Case of Origami Yoda / Darth Paper Strikes Back by Tom Angleberger - very funny! these chapter books are a bit longer, but they have cool illustrations similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid series http://www.shvoong.com/books/children-and-youth/2078258-strange-case-origami-yoda/
How to Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell - made into movie, but the books are great for boys; illustrations like the Yoda and Wimpy books http://www.shvoong.com/books/guidance-self-improvement/1977258-train-dragon/

What do you advise to make my 5 years old boy be interested in reading books in the future ?

My 8 yr old loves to read. I never made a big deal out of reading but tried to make it a fun experience. At age 2.5 we started with trips to the library every few days. I felt it would make him feel comfortable being around books. We would go to the story times our library offered and I would read him book every day. Later, when he started to ready himself, I also would go to Goodwill and let him pick out several books each week. They are super cheap there and he would not have to take them back to the library and it gave him the feeling of ownership of the books compared to having to give them back to the library.
He now reads at 6th grade level (he is in 3rd grade) and reads one book every other day. He still gets to pick 15 chapter books each month at Goodwill and you never see him without a book wherever we go (by his choice).
Best of luck!
