Yes, your sentence is acceptable. There's nothing grammatically incorrect or objectionable (nepřípustné) about it. In conversational style, we usually prefer the „rather“ construction to using „prefer“, so I'd [= I would] rather read than go to the cinema.

(1) I prefer books to going to the cinema.
(2) I prefer reading books to going to the cinema.
(3) I prefer reading to going to the cinema.

Similarly:

(4) I prefer youth hostels to camping (in a tent).
(5) I prefer friendly conversation to having arguments.
(6) I prefer kofola to drinking alcohol.
(7) I prefer caution to taking unnecessary risks.
(8) I prefer salads to eating heavy meals.
(9) I prefer a healthy diet to taking vitamin supplements.
(10) I prefer long walks to going to the gym.
