LibraryThing starting in 2007, then Shelfari, then Goodreads and now Storygraph. The tracking allows me to remember favorite reads going back decades in case I choose to re-read something, which I often do. It allows me to recall authors who may have otherwise faded into distant memory. And it allows me to filter my "to-read" pile in a way that includes books I own, books available over Libby, audiobooks and all the rest. I can filter my "to-read" by my current mood, genre, and inclinations and see if there is something, somewhere, that suits me right now, whether I own it or not.
