I looked at three options - Shelfari, iBookDB and GoodReads, and chose GoodReads because of the social features and the cleanness of the database. I really feel positive about how hard the GoodReads community works to make it a usable database, enough that I became a librarian to add and clean up the eBook records. I don't mind the ads because I know they pay for the site, and MOST of the time, they are reading related. Frankly, I don't know why Amazon/Sony/B&N aren't buying ads for their e-readers there.

When you mark something as read in Goodreads, you can record a date. And then in Read view, you can sort by the date read.

Here is an example of my Goodreads 2010 shelf, sorted by date read:

To get to this year's read books, click on My Books, then go down on the left side and select Stats. You get a view of years, and then you can drill down to date read from there. Here is how it looks, sorted by year:
