It is not clear exactly what you want. Do you want the final object to be a matrix with 2 columns (or the number of columns equal to the number of items in the list? If so you could just use do.call(cbind, x) and you would not need reduce or paste (paste is the wrong tool unless you want a single string with the different things pasted into it).
Do you want a list with each element of the list being a vector? Do you want a string, but with quotes inside the string? Something else?
