I think you should be able to track when you started and finished reading a book. There are a few design choices to be made,

  1. Should you be able to save multiple reads? Sometimes you do go back to your favorite book and read it again so it is not entirely unwarranted to have this feature.
  2. How would this look in the UI? Still keeping the simplistic look without overcomplicating things, having an extensive edit menu for all details would be one way to do it and then have start and finish dates be more event related, so when you add a book to your currently reading list it would automatically set you start date and when you add it to your read list if sets the finish date.

  1. Allowing to have multiple reads might allow for some interesting and unique insights from that data!

  2. It might not be a bad idea to start off simple with the latter option, then offer an "advanced mode" with that extensive edit menu. The first offers the quickest route to the feature (really the MVP of the feature), the second offers more wide breadth of long term options.

My naive two cents :D
