Subject: Converting to a useful table in org-mode?

I have this list of books that I've read on my kindle which I now want
to store for posterity in org-mode.
24-11-13 - Andrew Lane - young sherlock Holmes, fire storm
3-12-13 - Richmal Compton - just Williams New years day
9-12-13 - richmal compton - still william
11-1-14 - Pc wren - beau geste
18-1-14 - Andrew Lane - young sherlock Holmes, the red leech
26-1-14 - Ian Fleming - casino royale
24-02-14 - Cory doctorow - little brother
How can I create a table of them please?
I've tried highlighting them and then converting the region, but with a bit of elbow-grease and
deletions I get this -
| 24-11-13 | Andrew Lane | young sherlock Holmes, fire storm |
| 3-12-13 | Richmal Compton | just Williams New years day |
| 9-12-13 | richmal compton | still william |
| 11-1-14 | Pc wren | beau geste |
| 18-1-14 | Andrew Lane | young sherlock Holmes, the red leech |
| 26-1-14 | Ian Fleming | casino royale |
| 24-02-14 | Cory doctorow | little brother |
which looks stilted and unnatural! How can I close the gaps in the
cells please and get it all left-aligned? I've tried tabbing in the
cell and that didn't work, and neither did 'C-c C-c'.
Thanks
Sharon.
