Okay, I don't use the Plugin in that way but as I understand it, you first have to greate a custom column. I don't even try to explain that in detail, I leave that to others
- see
here. Then go to your Reading List Plugin and select the Customize plugin... option. There is a point 'Column Update Options' with 'Column to update' where you have to select your newly created custom column and choose the setting for 'When changing this list'.
Hope that helps.

Edit: Okay, just tried it. I made a simple yes/no custom column (see picture), changed the settings in my Reading List Plugin to:
When changing the list - Update column for add or remove
column to update - #yes/no (read)
Value in column to add/remove - Y
BUT, after you did this, you have to add all your books on your reading list in a new list, otherwise the column will NOT update! View you reading list, select them all, add them to the new list, remove them from the old list. Done! Now you will have a nice green hook in this column for every book on you list.
