Montag does gain benefits from books because he opened his eyes and realized that there was something wrong with there society. The books make him a better person. Faber said  "There is nothing magical in them,at all.The magic is only in what books say,how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.(79)" Faber is saying they books don't mean anything there just paper bundled together but it all depends if the reader learned something for it. If their going to make a change or just move on with life they decide what to do with it.

Even though it seems that books have ruined his "good life", I think it saves him. It saves him from being another regular brainwashed person in the city. All he lost was a woman who didn't love him, a house that could be replaced, and books he could never get back but are stuck in his brain. Montag gains knowledge and the ability to see the world differently with the books he had hidden in his house.
