dustyp - searches with "marked:blah blah" are created dynamically so they can't be used in VL search terms.
I suggest you create a custom column like Tags called say 'thefamily/The Family'. In each persons Reading List set Column Update Options to :
When changing this list: to Update column for add or remove
Column to update: to #thefamiliy (The Family)
Value on Column to add/remove: to persons name
Then create the VL's based on values in the Family Name column. You probably won't want to see the Family Name category in the Tag Browser, so right click its category header and select Hide.
