Yes! That's exactly the usage that patrons would love to see with the shelf 
browser (IMHO).

There are some third party widgets (LibraryThing makes one I believe) and 
various javascript tutorials to do pretty / visual things like this with static 
booklists. It would be cool to extend the idea to a shelf browser.

Slightly different usage type, but TADL has something like that: 
http://catalog.tadl.org/. Theirs also happens to be the most user-friendly and 
inviting Evergreen catalog landing page out there, at least of the ones I’ve 
seen. KCLS also has something along those lines, but they are using 
BiblioCommons: http://kcls.bibliocommons.com/.
