What are the best English novels for intermediate reading?

I have a question. There are three sentences below, and I think there are nuances between them. What are the differences? ① I prefer to drink tea rather than coffee. ② I would prefer to drink tea rather than coffee. ③ I would rather drink tea than coffee. Thank you so much for your help :)

I have a question. I learned in Japan that "would rather" and "would prefer" can be used interchangeably, but can "would rather" be replaced with "would prefer" in the following case? ・I would rather die than apologize to him. Thank you!

I have a question. Is the "rather" in "I would rather drink tea than coffee" the same as the "rather" in "We took the train rather than driving to avoid traffic."? They are often translated similarly into Japanese, but looking at the context, the two uses of "rather" seem to have different meanings. Are the "rather" in "would rather" and the "rather" in "rather than" actually the same in meaning? Thank you!
