I found out a way of not only animating from left to right / right to left, but also from centered text.

The trick is to apply a width of '0'.

ul { 
  background: #fff;
  padding: 16px;
  border: 1px solid #e2e2e2;
}
 
li {
  list-style: none;
  letter-spacing: 1px;
  font: 12px 'Tahoma';
  line-height: 24px;
  color: #444;
  text-align: center;
  white-space: nowrap;
  width: 100%;
  transition: width .8s ease;
}

ul:hover > li {
  width: 0;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
  <li>this</li>
  <li>is a list</li>
  <li>of entries</li>
  <li>with various widths.</li>
  <li>hover over it</li>
  <li>to apply crazy css magic!</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
