No spoilers -- literally.

In her Food for Thought: Book Collection In Tins series, designer Maria Mordvintseva-Keeler puts a foodie twist on how we consume literature. Instead of a traditional book, Mordvintseva-Keeler has neatly packaged three classic stories, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Naked Lunch and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, into cans.

Not sure if these books fit your reading diet? Don’t worry, each can features “nutritional facts” on the label that give a peek into the book’s narrative.

"I ended up with the ingredients section that has the characters in it, serving size with the number of pages and emotions in the daily value sections," Mordvintseva-Keeler told Mashable. "I sometimes wish they featured something like that on the cover, since the right book at the right moment is better than any sort of therapy. Reading is certainly better than stress eating."
