General Knowledge Quiz

I love quizzes, so what about this? You can pose any question, on any subject at all, as long as you answer the previous question both correctly and first. Simple, eh?

Here's an easy one to start off with: name the famous, or infamous novel written by Machiaevelli (sp?) which gives the author's name to the practice of believing that the end justifies the means?

Whoever answers that correctly, and first, can pose the next question, and so on.

Good thread idea

EDIT - I have removed my guess as I'm sure it's wrong.

EDIT x 2: The Art of War was my guess btw.

I just finished reading it for a class and writing a paper on it. Do I ask a question now or how does this work?

Yep. You got in first, and correctly, so your choice of question. Anything you like, just try to make it not brain-meltingly hard so that some of us have a chance to get it...
