How to align authors in book title page?

I have the following author declaration in a book document:
author{
Lorem Ipsum and
Dolor Sit and
Amet Whatever and
Bozo Clown and
Donald Trump and
John Smith and
Jack Kerouac
}
The result in the title page looks clearly unaligned:

I would like the names on the left column to be left-aligned; names on the right column to be right-aligned; and names in the center column to be center-aligned. How should I go about that?

What about vertical alignment? Do you want the three columns to be top aligned like they already are or do you want to centre them?

A quick and dirty solution without redefine maketitle and without considering possible side effects in other parts of the document if you try to reuse @author:
documentclass{books}
usepackage{tabulary}
title{}
author{tabcolsep1em
begin{tabulary}{linewidth}{LCR}
Lorem~Ipsum Bozo~Clown &
Dolor~Sit Donald~Trump Jack~Kerouac &
Amet~Whatever John~Smith
end{tabulary}}
begin{document}
maketitle
end{document}
