Here is some quick advice from someone who studied Ulysses at a top Dublin University:
This is a very well-respected guide. It doesn't hold your hand but gives you just enough to enjoy every chapter. The much more extensive Ulysses Annotated is also available for those who want more assistance but it is outdated now and full of errors.
I used Terrence Killeen's Ulysses Unbound during a recent reading and found it to be very helpful. It is structured in that each chapter is given a plot summary, along with it's Odyssey parallel, as well as a stylistic analysis and a more general, overall discussion, topped off with historical notes and a glossary of the more obscure terms employed by Joyce (of which there are many, particularly for non-Irish readers). Everything you need, really.
