Some people, such as myself/me/I, prefer a book to a movie.
Hello, everyone.
Which of the sentences below is correct?
1) Some people, such as I, prefer a book to a movie.
2) Some people, such as me, prefer a book to a movie.
3) Some people, such as myself, prefer a book to a movie.
Recently I have delved into reflexive pronouns and the usage above looks suspicious to me, but still I often see it.

OK, then let me go into detail a little bit more to better understand the situation, and quote one rule:
"Use the pronoun I, along with other subjective pronouns such as we, he, she, you, and they, when the pronoun is the subject of a verb."
Is "I" in the sentence under discussion not a subject or the above rule is not so precise and strict and have exceptions?
